Commit the first cut of Project Evil, also known as the NDISulator. Yes, it's what you think it is. Yes, you should run away now. This is a special compatibility module for allowing Windows NDIS miniport network drivers to be used with FreeBSD/x86. This provides _binary_ NDIS compatibility (not source): you can run NDIS driver code, but you can't build it. There are three main parts: sys/compat/ndis: the NDIS compat API, which provides binary compatibility functions for many routines in NDIS.SYS, HAL.dll and ntoskrnl.exe in Windows (these are the three modules that most NDIS miniport drivers use). The compat module also contains a small PE relocator/dynalinker which relocates the Windows .SYS image and then patches in our native routines. sys/dev/if_ndis: the if_ndis driver wrapper. This module makes use of the ndis compat API and can be compiled with a specially prepared binary image file (ndis_driver_data.h) containing the Windows .SYS image and registry key information parsed out of the accompanying .INF file. Once if_ndis.ko is built, it can be loaded and unloaded just like a native FreeBSD kenrel module. usr.sbin/ndiscvt: a special utility that converts foo.sys and foo.inf into an ndis_driver_data.h file that can be compiled into if_ndis.o. Contains an .inf file parser graciously provided by Matt Dodd (and mercilessly hacked upon by me) that strips out device ID info and registry key info from a .INF file and packages it up with a binary image array. The ndiscvt(8) utility also does some manipulation of the segments within the .sys file to make life easier for the kernel loader. (Doing the manipulation here saves the kernel code from having to move things around later, which would waste memory.) ndiscvt is only built for the i386 arch. Only files.i386 has been updated, and none of this is turned on in GENERIC. It should probably work on pc98. I have no idea about amd64 or ia64 at this point. This is still a work in progress. I estimate it's about %85 done, but I want it under CVS control so I can track subsequent changes. It has been tested with exactly three drivers: the LinkSys LNE100TX v4 driver (Lne100v4.sys), the sample Intel 82559 driver from the Windows DDK (e100bex.sys) and the Broadcom BCM43xx wireless driver (bcmwl5.sys). It still needs to have a net80211 stuff added to it. To use it, you would do something like this: # cd /sys/modules/ndis # make; make load # cd /sys/modules/if_ndis # ndiscvt -i /path/to/foo.inf -s /path/to/foo.sys -o ndis_driver_data.h # make; make load # sysctl -a | grep ndis All registry keys are mapped to sysctl nodes. Sometimes drivers refer to registry keys that aren't mentioned in foo.inf. If this happens, the NDIS API module creates sysctl nodes for these keys on the fly so you can tweak them. An example usage of the Broadcom wireless driver would be: # sysctl hw.ndis0.EnableAutoConnect=1 # sysctl hw.ndis0.SSID="MY_SSID" # sysctl hw.ndis0.NetworkType=0 (0 for bss, 1 for adhoc) # ifconfig ndis0 <my ipaddr> netmask 0xffffff00 up Things to be done: - get rid of debug messages - add in ndis80211 support - defer transmissions until after a status update with NDIS_STATUS_CONNECTED occurs - Create smarter lookaside list support - Split off if_ndis_pci.c and if_ndis_pccard.c attachments - Make sure PCMCIA support works - Fix ndiscvt to properly parse PCMCIA device IDs from INF files - write ndisapi.9 man page

Throw the switch on the new driver generation/loading mechanism. From here on in, if_ndis.ko will be pre-built as a module, and can be built into a static kernel (though it's not part of GENERIC). Drivers are created using the new ndisgen(8) script, which uses ndiscvt(8) under the covers, along with a few other tools. The result is a driver module that can be kldloaded into the kernel. A driver with foo.inf and foo.sys files will be converted into foo_sys.ko (and foo_sys.o, for those who want/need to make static kernels). This module contains all of the necessary info from the .INF file and the driver binary image, converted into an ELF module. You can kldload this module (or add it to /boot/loader.conf) to have it loaded automatically. Any required firmware files can be bundled into the module as well (or converted/loaded separately). Also, add a workaround for a problem in NdisMSleep(). During system bootstrap (cold == 1), msleep() always returns 0 without actually sleeping. The Intel 2200BG driver uses NdisMSleep() to wait for the NIC's firmware to come to life, and fails to load if NdisMSleep() doesn't actually delay. As a workaround, if msleep() (and hence ndis_thsuspend()) returns 0, use a hard DELAY() to sleep instead). This is not really the right thing to do, but we can't really do much else. At the very least, this makes the Intel driver happy. There are probably other drivers that fail in this way during bootstrap. Unfortunately, the only workaround for those is to avoid pre-loading them and kldload them once the system is running instead.

- Correct one aspect of the driver_object/device_object/IRP framework: when we create a PDO, the driver_object associated with it is that of the parent driver, not the driver we're trying to attach. For example, if we attach a PCI device, the PDO we pass to the NdisAddDevice() function should contain a pointer to fake_pci_driver, not to the NDIS driver itself. For PCI or PCMCIA devices this doesn't matter because the child never needs to talk to the parent bus driver, but for USB, the child needs to be able to send IRPs to the parent USB bus driver, and for that to work the parent USB bus driver has to be hung off the PDO. This involves modifying windrv_lookup() so that we can search for bus drivers by name, if necessary. Our fake bus drivers attach themselves as "PCI Bus," "PCCARD Bus" and "USB Bus," so we can search for them using those names. The individual attachment stubs now create and attach PDOs to the parent bus drivers instead of hanging them off the NDIS driver's object, and in if_ndis.c, we now search for the correct driver object depending on the bus type, and use that to find the correct PDO. With this fix, I can get my sample USB ethernet driver to deliver an IRP to my fake parent USB bus driver's dispatch routines. - Add stub modules for USB support: subr_usbd.c, usbd_var.h and if_ndis_usb.c. The subr_usbd.c module is hooked up the build but currently doesn't do very much. It provides the stub USB parent driver object and a dispatch routine for IRM_MJ_INTERNAL_DEVICE_CONTROL. The only exported function at the moment is USBD_GetUSBDIVersion(). The if_ndis_usb.c stub compiles, but is not hooked up to the build yet. I'm putting these here so I can keep them under source code control as I flesh them out.

This is a special compatibility module for allowing Windows NDIS miniport network drivers to be used with FreeBSD/x86. This provides _binary_ NDIS compatibility (not source): you can run NDIS driver code, but you can't build it. There are three main parts: sys/compat/ndis: the NDIS compat API, which provides binary compatibility functions for many routines in NDIS.SYS, HAL.dll and ntoskrnl.exe in Windows (these are the three modules that most NDIS miniport drivers use). The compat module also contains a small PE relocator/dynalinker which relocates the Windows .SYS image and then patches in our native routines. sys/dev/if_ndis: the if_ndis driver wrapper. This module makes use of the ndis compat API and can be compiled with a specially prepared binary image file (ndis_driver_data.h) containing the Windows .SYS image and registry key information parsed out of the accompanying .INF file. Once if_ndis.ko is built, it can be loaded and unloaded just like a native FreeBSD kenrel module. usr.sbin/ndiscvt: a special utility that converts foo.sys and foo.inf into an ndis_driver_data.h file that can be compiled into if_ndis.o. Contains an .inf file parser graciously provided by Matt Dodd (and mercilessly hacked upon by me) that strips out device ID info and registry key info from a .INF file and packages it up with a binary image array. The ndiscvt(8) utility also does some manipulation of the segments within the .sys file to make life easier for the kernel loader. (Doing the manipulation here saves the kernel code from having to move things around later, which would waste memory.) ndiscvt is only built for the i386 arch. Only files.i386 has been updated, and none of this is turned on in GENERIC. It should probably work on pc98. I have no idea about amd64 or ia64 at this point. This is still a work in progress. I estimate it's about %85 done, but I want it under CVS control so I can track subsequent changes. It has been tested with exactly three drivers: the LinkSys LNE100TX v4 driver (Lne100v4.sys), the sample Intel 82559 driver from the Windows DDK (e100bex.sys) and the Broadcom BCM43xx wireless driver (bcmwl5.sys). It still needs to have a net80211 stuff added to it.

Create new i386 windows/bsd thunking layer, similar to the amd64 thunking layer, but with a twist. The twist has to do with the fact that Microsoft supports structured exception handling in kernel mode. On the i386 arch, exception handling is implemented by hanging an exception registration list off the Thread Environment Block (TEB), and the TEB is accessed via the %fs register. The problem is, we use %fs as a pointer to the pcpu stucture, which means any driver that tries to write through %fs:0 will overwrite the curthread pointer and make a serious mess of things. To get around this, Project Evil now creates a special entry in the GDT on each processor. When we call into Windows code, a context switch routine will fix up %fs so it points to our new descriptor, which in turn points to a fake TEB. When the Windows code returns, or calls out to an external routine, we swap %fs back again. Currently, Project Evil makes use of GDT slot 7, which is all 0s by default. I fully expect someone to jump up and say I can't do that, but I couldn't find any code that makes use of this entry anywhere. Sadly, this was the only method I could come up with that worked on both UP and SMP. (Modifying the LDT works on UP, but becomes incredibly complicated on SMP.) If necessary, the context switching stuff can be yanked out while preserving the convention calling wrappers. (Fortunately, it looks like Microsoft uses some special epilog/prolog code on amd64 to implement exception handling, so the same nastiness won't be necessary on that arch.) The advantages are: - Any driver that uses %fs as though it were a TEB pointer won't clobber pcpu. - All the __stdcall/__fastcall/__regparm stuff that's specific to gcc goes away. Also, while I'm here, switch NdisGetSystemUpTime() back to using nanouptime() again. It turns out nanouptime() is way more accurate than just using ticks(). On slower machines, the Atheros drivers I tested seem to take a long time to associate due to the loss in accuracy.

This commit makes a big round of updates and fixes many, many things. First and most importantly, I threw out the thread priority-twiddling implementation of KeRaiseIrql()/KeLowerIrq()/KeGetCurrentIrql() in favor of a new scheme that uses sleep mutexes. The old scheme was really very naughty and sought to provide the same behavior as Windows spinlocks (i.e. blocking pre-emption) but in a way that wouldn't raise the ire of WITNESS. The new scheme represents 'DISPATCH_LEVEL' as the acquisition of a per-cpu sleep mutex. If a thread on cpu0 acquires the 'dispatcher mutex,' it will block any other thread on the same processor that tries to acquire it, in effect only allowing one thread on the processor to be at 'DISPATCH_LEVEL' at any given time. It can then do the 'atomic sit and spin' routine on the spinlock variable itself. If a thread on cpu1 wants to acquire the same spinlock, it acquires the 'dispatcher mutex' for cpu1 and then it too does an atomic sit and spin to try acquiring the spinlock. Unlike real spinlocks, this does not disable pre-emption of all threads on the CPU, but it does put any threads involved with the NDISulator to sleep, which is just as good for our purposes. This means I can now play nice with WITNESS, and I can safely do things like call malloc() when I'm at 'DISPATCH_LEVEL,' which you're allowed to do in Windows. Next, I completely re-wrote most of the event/timer/mutex handling and wait code. KeWaitForSingleObject() and KeWaitForMultipleObjects() have been re-written to use condition variables instead of msleep(). This allows us to use the Windows convention whereby thread A can tell thread B "wake up with a boosted priority." (With msleep(), you instead have thread B saying "when I get woken up, I'll use this priority here," and thread A can't tell it to do otherwise.) The new KeWaitForMultipleObjects() has been better tested and better duplicates the semantics of its Windows counterpart. I also overhauled the IoQueueWorkItem() API and underlying code. Like KeInsertQueueDpc(), IoQueueWorkItem() must insure that the same work item isn't put on the queue twice. ExQueueWorkItem(), which in my implementation is built on top of IoQueueWorkItem(), was also modified to perform a similar test. I renamed the doubly-linked list macros to give them the same names as their Windows counterparts and fixed RemoveListTail() and RemoveListHead() so they properly return the removed item. I also corrected the list handling code in ntoskrnl_dpc_thread() and ntoskrnl_workitem_thread(). I realized that the original logic did not correctly handle the case where a DPC callout tries to queue up another DPC. It works correctly now. I implemented IoConnectInterrupt() and IoDisconnectInterrupt() and modified NdisMRegisterInterrupt() and NdisMDisconnectInterrupt() to use them. I also tried to duplicate the interrupt handling scheme used in Windows. The interrupt handling is now internal to ndis.ko, and the ndis_intr() function has been removed from if_ndis.c. (In the USB case, interrupt handling isn't needed in if_ndis.c anyway.) NdisMSleep() has been rewritten to use a KeWaitForSingleObject() and a KeTimer, which is how it works in Windows. (This is mainly to insure that the NDISulator uses the KeTimer API so I can spot any problems with it that may arise.) KeCancelTimer() has been changed so that it only cancels timers, and does not attempt to cancel a DPC if the timer managed to fire and queue one up before KeCancelTimer() was called. The Windows DDK documentation seems to imply that KeCantelTimer() will also call KeRemoveQueueDpc() if necessary, but it really doesn't. The KeTimer implementation has been rewritten to use the callout API directly instead of timeout()/untimeout(). I still cheat a little in that I have to manage my own small callout timer wheel, but the timer code works more smoothly now. I discovered a race condition using timeout()/untimeout() with periodic timers where untimeout() fails to actually cancel a timer. I don't quite understand where the race is, using callout_init()/callout_reset()/callout_stop() directly seems to fix it. I also discovered and fixed a bug in winx32_wrap.S related to translating _stdcall calls. There are a couple of routines (i.e. the 64-bit arithmetic intrinsics in subr_ntoskrnl) that return 64-bit quantities. On the x86 arch, 64-bit values are returned in the %eax and %edx registers. However, it happens that the ctxsw_utow() routine uses %edx as a scratch register, and x86_stdcall_wrap() and x86_stdcall_call() were only preserving %eax before branching to ctxsw_utow(). This means %edx was getting clobbered in some cases. Curiously, the most noticeable effect of this bug is that the driver for the TI AXC110 chipset would constantly drop and reacquire its link for no apparent reason. Both %eax and %edx are preserved on the stack now. The _fastcall and _regparm wrappers already handled everything correctly. I changed if_ndis to use IoAllocateWorkItem() and IoQueueWorkItem() instead of the NdisScheduleWorkItem() API. This is to avoid possible deadlocks with any drivers that use NdisScheduleWorkItem() themselves. The unicode/ansi conversion handling code has been cleaned up. The internal routines have been moved to subr_ntoskrnl and the RtlXXX routines have been exported so that subr_ndis can call them. This removes the incestuous relationship between the two modules regarding this code and fixes the implementation so that it honors the 'maxlen' fields correctly. (Previously it was possible for NdisUnicodeStringToAnsiString() to possibly clobber memory it didn't own, which was causing many mysterious crashes in the Marvell 8335 driver.) The registry handling code (NdisOpen/Close/ReadConfiguration()) has been fixed to allocate memory for all the parameters it hands out to callers and delete whem when NdisCloseConfiguration() is called. (Previously, it would secretly use a single static buffer.) I also substantially updated if_ndis so that the source can now be built on FreeBSD 7, 6 and 5 without any changes. On FreeBSD 5, only WEP support is enabled. On FreeBSD 6 and 7, WPA-PSK support is enabled. The original WPA code has been updated to fit in more cleanly with the net80211 API, and to eleminate the use of magic numbers. The ndis_80211_setstate() routine now sets a default authmode of OPEN and initializes the RTS threshold and fragmentation threshold. The WPA routines were changed so that the authentication mode is always set first, followed by the cipher. Some drivers depend on the operations being performed in this order. I also added passthrough ioctls that allow application code to directly call the MiniportSetInformation()/MiniportQueryInformation() methods via ndis_set_info() and ndis_get_info(). The ndis_linksts() routine also caches the last 4 events signalled by the driver via NdisMIndicateStatus(), and they can be queried by an application via a separate ioctl. This is done to allow wpa_supplicant to directly program the various crypto and key management options in the driver, allowing things like WPA2 support to work. Whew.

Finally bring an end to the great "make the Atheros NDIS driver work on SMP" saga. After several weeks and much gnashing of teeth, I have finally tracked down all the problems, despite their best efforts to confound and annoy me. Problem nunmber one: the Atheros windows driver is _NOT_ a de-serialized miniport! It used to be that NDIS drivers relied on the NDIS library itself for all their locking and serialization needs. Transmit packet queues were all handled internally by NDIS, and all calls to MiniportXXX() routines were guaranteed to be appropriately serialized. This proved to be a performance problem however, and Microsoft introduced de-serialized miniports with the NDIS 5.x spec. Microsoft still supports serialized miniports, but recommends that all new drivers written for Windows XP and later be deserialized. Apparently Atheros wasn't listening when they said this. This means (among other things) that we have to serialize calls to MiniportSendPackets(). We also have to serialize calls to MiniportTimer() that are triggered via the NdisMInitializeTimer() routine. It finally dawned on me why NdisMInitializeTimer() takes a special NDIS_MINIPORT_TIMER structure and a pointer to the miniport block: the timer callback must be serialized, and it's only by saving the miniport block handle that we can get access to the serialization lock during the timer callback. Problem number two: haunted hardware. The thing that was _really_ driving me absolutely bonkers for the longest time is that, for some reason I couldn't understand, my test machine would occasionally freeze or more frustratingly, reset completely. That's reset and in *pow!* back to the BIOS startup. No panic, no crashdump, just a reset. This appeared to happen most often when MiniportReset() was called. (As to why MiniportReset() was being called, see problem three below.) I thought maybe I had created some sort of horrible deadlock condition in the process of adding the serialization, but after three weeks, at least 6 different locking implementations and heroic efforts to debug the spinlock code, the machine still kept resetting. Finally, I started single stepping through the MiniportReset() routine in the driver using the kernel debugger, and this ultimately led me to the source of the problem. One of the last things the Atheros MiniportReset() routine does is call NdisReadPciSlotInformation() several times to inspect a portion of the device's PCI config space. It reads the same chunk of config space repeatedly, in rapid succession. Presumeably, it's polling the hardware for some sort of event. The reset occurs partway through this process. I discovered that when I single-stepped through this portion of the routine, the reset didn't occur. So I inserted a 1 microsecond delay into the read loop in NdisReadPciSlotInformation(). Suddenly, the reset was gone!! I'm still very puzzled by the whole thing. What I suspect is happening is that reading the PCI config space so quickly is causing a severe PCI bus error. My test system is a Sun w2100z dual Opteron system, and the NIC is a miniPCI card mounted in a miniPCI-to-PCI carrier card, plugged into a 100Mhz PCI slot. It's possible that this combination of hardware causes a bus protocol violation in this scenario which leads to a fatal machine check. This is pure speculation though. Really all I know for sure is that inserting the delay makes the problem go away. (To quote Homer Simpson: "I don't know how it works, but fire makes it good!") Problem number three: NdisAllocatePacket() needs to make sure to initialize the npp_validcounts field in the 'private' section of the NDIS_PACKET structure. The reason if_ndis was calling the MiniportReset() routine in the first place is that packet transmits were sometimes hanging. When sending a packet, an NDIS driver will call NdisQueryPacket() to learn how many physical buffers the packet resides in. NdisQueryPacket() is actually a macro, which traverses the NDIS_BUFFER list attached to the NDIS_PACKET and stashes some of the results in the 'private' section of the NDIS_PACKET. It also sets the npp_validcounts field to TRUE To indicate that the results are now valid. The problem is, now that if_ndis creates a pool of transmit packets via NdisAllocatePacketPool(), it's important that each time a new packet is allocated via NdisAllocatePacket() that validcounts be initialized to FALSE. If it isn't, and a previously transmitted NDIS_PACKET is pulled out of the pool, it may contain stale data from a previous transmission which won't get updated by NdisQueryPacket(). This would cause the driver to miscompute the number of fragments for a given packet, and botch the transmission. Fixing these three problems seems to make the Atheros driver happy on SMP, which hopefully means other serialized miniports will be happy too. And there was much rejoicing. Other stuff fixed along the way: - Modified ndis_thsuspend() to take a mutex as an argument. This allows KeWaitForSingleObject() and KeWaitForMultipleObjects() to avoid any possible race conditions with other routines that use the dispatcher lock. - Fixed KeCancelTimer() so that it returns the correct value for 'pending' according to the Microsoft documentation - Modfied NdisGetSystemUpTime() to use ticks and hz rather than calling nanouptime(). Also added comment that this routine wraps after 49.7 days. - Added macros for KeAcquireSpinLock()/KeReleaseSpinLock() to hide all the MSCALL() goop. - For x86, KeAcquireSpinLockRaiseToDpc() needs to be a separate function. This is because it's supposed to be _stdcall on the x86 arch, whereas KeAcquireSpinLock() is supposed to be _fastcall. On amd64, all routines use the same calling convention so we can just map KeAcquireSpinLockRaiseToDpc() directly to KfAcquireSpinLock() and it will work. (The _fastcall attribute is a no-op on amd64.) - Implement and use IoInitializeDpcRequest() and IoRequestDpc() (they're just macros) and use them for interrupt handling. This allows us to move the ndis_intrtask() routine from if_ndis.c to kern_ndis.c. - Fix the MmInitializeMdl() macro so that is uses sizeof(vm_offset_t) when computing mdl_size instead of uint32_t, so that it matches the MmSizeOfMdl() routine. - Change a could of M_WAITOKs to M_NOWAITs in the unicode routines in subr_ndis.c. - Use the dispatcher lock a little more consistently in subr_ntoskrnl.c. - Get rid of the "wait for link event" hack in ndis_init(). Now that I fixed NdisReadPciSlotInformation(), it seems I don't need it anymore. This should fix the witness panic a couple of people have reported. - Use MSCALL1() when calling the MiniportHangCheck() function in ndis_ticktask(). I accidentally missed this one when adding the wrapping for amd64.

irp *, struct ndis_softc *);
Another round of cleanups and fixes: - Change ndis_return() from a DPC to a workitem so that it doesn't run at DISPATCH_LEVEL (with the dispatcher lock held). - In if_ndis.c, submit packets to the stack via (*ifp->if_input)() in a workitem instead of doing it directly in ndis_rxeof(), because ndis_rxeof() runs in a DPC, and hence at DISPATCH_LEVEL. This implies that the 'dispatch level' mutex for the current CPU is being held, and we don't want to call if_input while holding any locks. - Reimplement IoConnectInterrupt()/IoDisconnectInterrupt(). The original approach I used to track down the interrupt resource (by scanning the device tree starting at the nexus) is prone to problems when two devices share an interrupt. (E.g removing ndis1 might disable interrupts for ndis0.) The new approach is to multiplex all the NDIS interrupts through a common internal dispatcher (ntoskrnl_intr()) and allow IoConnectInterrupt()/IoDisconnectInterrupt() to add or remove interrupts from the dispatch list. - Implement KeAcquireInterruptSpinLock() and KeReleaseInterruptSpinLock(). - Change the DPC and workitem threads to use the KeXXXSpinLock API instead of mtx_lock_spin()/mtx_unlock_spin(). - Simplify the NdisXXXPacket routines by creating an actual packet pool structure and using the InterlockedSList routines to manage the packet queue. - Only honor the value returned by OID_GEN_MAXIMUM_SEND_PACKETS for serialized drivers. For deserialized drivers, we now create a packet array of 64 entries. (The Microsoft DDK documentation says that for deserialized miniports, OID_GEN_MAXIMUM_SEND_PACKETS is ignored, and the driver for the Marvell 8335 chip, which is a deserialized miniport, returns 1 when queried.) - Clean up timer handling in subr_ntoskrnl. - Add the following conditional debugging code: NTOSKRNL_DEBUG_TIMERS - add debugging and stats for timers NDIS_DEBUG_PACKETS - add extra sanity checking for NdisXXXPacket API NTOSKRNL_DEBUG_SPINLOCKS - add test for spinning too long - In kern_ndis.c, always start the HAL first and shut it down last, since Windows spinlocks depend on it. Ntoskrnl should similarly be started second and shut down next to last.

Add support for Windows/x86-64 binaries to Project Evil. Ville-Pertti Keinonen (will at exomi dot comohmygodnospampleasekthx) deserves a big thanks for submitting initial patches to make it work. I have mangled his contributions appropriately. The main gotcha with Windows/x86-64 is that Microsoft uses a different calling convention than everyone else. The standard ABI requires using 6 registers for argument passing, with other arguments on the stack. Microsoft uses only 4 registers, and requires the caller to leave room on the stack for the register arguments incase the callee needs to spill them. Unlike x86, where Microsoft uses a mix of _cdecl, _stdcall and _fastcall, all routines on Windows/x86-64 uses the same convention. This unfortunately means that all the functions we export to the driver require an intermediate translation wrapper. Similarly, we have to wrap all calls back into the driver binary itself. The original patches provided macros to wrap every single routine at compile time, providing a secondary jump table with a customized wrapper for each exported routine. I decided to use a different approach: the call wrapper for each function is created from a template at runtime, and the routine to jump to is patched into the wrapper as it is created. The subr_pe module has been modified to patch in the wrapped function instead of the original. (On x86, the wrapping routine is a no-op.) There are some minor API differences that had to be accounted for: - KeAcquireSpinLock() is a real function on amd64, not a macro wrapper around KfAcquireSpinLock() - NdisFreeBuffer() is actually IoFreeMdl(). I had to change the whole NDIS_BUFFER API a bit to accomodate this. Bugs fixed along the way: - IoAllocateMdl() always returned NULL - kern_windrv.c:windrv_unload() wasn't releasing private driver object extensions correctly (found thanks to memguard) This has only been tested with the driver for the Broadcom 802.11g chipset, which was the only Windows/x86-64 driver I could find.

When we call into Windows code, a context switch routine will fix up %fs so it points to our new descriptor, which in turn points to a fake TEB. When the Windows code returns, or calls out to an external routine, we swap %fs back again. Currently, Project Evil makes use of GDT slot 7, which is all 0s by default. I fully expect someone to jump up and say I can't do that, but I couldn't find any code that makes use of this entry anywhere. Sadly, this was the only method I could come up with that worked on both UP and SMP. (Modifying the LDT works on UP, but becomes incredibly complicated on SMP.) If necessary, the context switching stuff can be yanked out while preserving the convention calling wrappers. (Fortunately, it looks like Microsoft uses some special epilog/prolog code on amd64 to implement exception handling, so the same nastiness won't be necessary on that arch.) The advantages are: - Any driver that uses %fs as though it were a TEB pointer won't clobber pcpu. - All the __stdcall/__fastcall/__regparm stuff that's specific to gcc goes away. Also, while I'm here, switch NdisGetSystemUpTime() back to using nanouptime() again. It turns out nanouptime() is way more accurate than just using ticks(). On slower machines, the Atheros drivers I tested seem to take a long time to associate due to the loss in accuracy.

This commit makes a big round of updates and fixes many, many things. First and most importantly, I threw out the thread priority-twiddling implementation of KeRaiseIrql()/KeLowerIrq()/KeGetCurrentIrql() in favor of a new scheme that uses sleep mutexes. The old scheme was really very naughty and sought to provide the same behavior as Windows spinlocks (i.e. blocking pre-emption) but in a way that wouldn't raise the ire of WITNESS. The new scheme represents 'DISPATCH_LEVEL' as the acquisition of a per-cpu sleep mutex. If a thread on cpu0 acquires the 'dispatcher mutex,' it will block any other thread on the same processor that tries to acquire it, in effect only allowing one thread on the processor to be at 'DISPATCH_LEVEL' at any given time. It can then do the 'atomic sit and spin' routine on the spinlock variable itself. If a thread on cpu1 wants to acquire the same spinlock, it acquires the 'dispatcher mutex' for cpu1 and then it too does an atomic sit and spin to try acquiring the spinlock. Unlike real spinlocks, this does not disable pre-emption of all threads on the CPU, but it does put any threads involved with the NDISulator to sleep, which is just as good for our purposes. This means I can now play nice with WITNESS, and I can safely do things like call malloc() when I'm at 'DISPATCH_LEVEL,' which you're allowed to do in Windows. Next, I completely re-wrote most of the event/timer/mutex handling and wait code. KeWaitForSingleObject() and KeWaitForMultipleObjects() have been re-written to use condition variables instead of msleep(). This allows us to use the Windows convention whereby thread A can tell thread B "wake up with a boosted priority." (With msleep(), you instead have thread B saying "when I get woken up, I'll use this priority here," and thread A can't tell it to do otherwise.) The new KeWaitForMultipleObjects() has been better tested and better duplicates the semantics of its Windows counterpart. I also overhauled the IoQueueWorkItem() API and underlying code. Like KeInsertQueueDpc(), IoQueueWorkItem() must insure that the same work item isn't put on the queue twice. ExQueueWorkItem(), which in my implementation is built on top of IoQueueWorkItem(), was also modified to perform a similar test. I renamed the doubly-linked list macros to give them the same names as their Windows counterparts and fixed RemoveListTail() and RemoveListHead() so they properly return the removed item. I also corrected the list handling code in ntoskrnl_dpc_thread() and ntoskrnl_workitem_thread(). I realized that the original logic did not correctly handle the case where a DPC callout tries to queue up another DPC. It works correctly now. I implemented IoConnectInterrupt() and IoDisconnectInterrupt() and modified NdisMRegisterInterrupt() and NdisMDisconnectInterrupt() to use them. I also tried to duplicate the interrupt handling scheme used in Windows. The interrupt handling is now internal to ndis.ko, and the ndis_intr() function has been removed from if_ndis.c. (In the USB case, interrupt handling isn't needed in if_ndis.c anyway.) NdisMSleep() has been rewritten to use a KeWaitForSingleObject() and a KeTimer, which is how it works in Windows. (This is mainly to insure that the NDISulator uses the KeTimer API so I can spot any problems with it that may arise.) KeCancelTimer() has been changed so that it only cancels timers, and does not attempt to cancel a DPC if the timer managed to fire and queue one up before KeCancelTimer() was called. The Windows DDK documentation seems to imply that KeCantelTimer() will also call KeRemoveQueueDpc() if necessary, but it really doesn't. The KeTimer implementation has been rewritten to use the callout API directly instead of timeout()/untimeout(). I still cheat a little in that I have to manage my own small callout timer wheel, but the timer code works more smoothly now. I discovered a race condition using timeout()/untimeout() with periodic timers where untimeout() fails to actually cancel a timer. I don't quite understand where the race is, using callout_init()/callout_reset()/callout_stop() directly seems to fix it. I also discovered and fixed a bug in winx32_wrap.S related to translating _stdcall calls. There are a couple of routines (i.e. the 64-bit arithmetic intrinsics in subr_ntoskrnl) that return 64-bit quantities. On the x86 arch, 64-bit values are returned in the %eax and %edx registers. However, it happens that the ctxsw_utow() routine uses %edx as a scratch register, and x86_stdcall_wrap() and x86_stdcall_call() were only preserving %eax before branching to ctxsw_utow(). This means %edx was getting clobbered in some cases. Curiously, the most noticeable effect of this bug is that the driver for the TI AXC110 chipset would constantly drop and reacquire its link for no apparent reason. Both %eax and %edx are preserved on the stack now. The _fastcall and _regparm wrappers already handled everything correctly. I changed if_ndis to use IoAllocateWorkItem() and IoQueueWorkItem() instead of the NdisScheduleWorkItem() API. This is to avoid possible deadlocks with any drivers that use NdisScheduleWorkItem() themselves. The unicode/ansi conversion handling code has been cleaned up. The internal routines have been moved to subr_ntoskrnl and the RtlXXX routines have been exported so that subr_ndis can call them. This removes the incestuous relationship between the two modules regarding this code and fixes the implementation so that it honors the 'maxlen' fields correctly. (Previously it was possible for NdisUnicodeStringToAnsiString() to possibly clobber memory it didn't own, which was causing many mysterious crashes in the Marvell 8335 driver.) The registry handling code (NdisOpen/Close/ReadConfiguration()) has been fixed to allocate memory for all the parameters it hands out to callers and delete whem when NdisCloseConfiguration() is called. (Previously, it would secretly use a single static buffer.) I also substantially updated if_ndis so that the source can now be built on FreeBSD 7, 6 and 5 without any changes. On FreeBSD 5, only WEP support is enabled. On FreeBSD 6 and 7, WPA-PSK support is enabled. The original WPA code has been updated to fit in more cleanly with the net80211 API, and to eleminate the use of magic numbers. The ndis_80211_setstate() routine now sets a default authmode of OPEN and initializes the RTS threshold and fragmentation threshold. The WPA routines were changed so that the authentication mode is always set first, followed by the cipher. Some drivers depend on the operations being performed in this order. I also added passthrough ioctls that allow application code to directly call the MiniportSetInformation()/MiniportQueryInformation() methods via ndis_set_info() and ndis_get_info(). The ndis_linksts() routine also caches the last 4 events signalled by the driver via NdisMIndicateStatus(), and they can be queried by an application via a separate ioctl. This is done to allow wpa_supplicant to directly program the various crypto and key management options in the driver, allowing things like WPA2 support to work. Whew.

This commit makes a bunch of changes, some big, some not so big. - Remove the old task threads from kern_ndis.c and reimplement them in subr_ntoskrnl.c, in order to more properly emulate the Windows DPC API. Each CPU gets its own DPC queue/thread, and each queue can have low, medium and high importance DPCs. New APIs implemented: KeSetTargetProcessorDpc(), KeSetImportanceDpc() and KeFlushQueuedDpcs(). (This is the biggest change.) - Fix a bug in NdisMInitializeTimer(): the k_dpc pointer in the nmt_timer embedded in the ndis_miniport_timer struct must be set to point to the DPC, also embedded in the struct. Failing to do this breaks dequeueing of DPCs submitted via timers, and in turn breaks cancelling timers. - Fix a bug in KeCancelTimer(): if the timer is interted in the timer queue (i.e. the timeout callback is still pending), we have to both untimeout() the timer _and_ call KeRemoveQueueDpc() to nuke the DPC that might be pending. Failing to do this breaks cancellation of periodic timers, which always appear to be inserted in the timer queue. - Make use of the nmt_nexttimer field in ndis_miniport_timer: keep a queue of pending timers and cancel them all in ndis_halt_nic(), prior to calling MiniportHalt(). Also call KeFlushQueuedDpcs() to make sure any DPCs queued by the timers have expired. - Modify NdisMAllocateSharedMemory() and NdisMFreeSharedMemory() to keep track of both the virtual and physical addresses of the shared memory buffers that get handed out. The AirGo MIMO driver appears to have a bug in it: for one of the segments is allocates, it returns the wrong virtual address. This would confuse NdisMFreeSharedMemory() and cause a crash. Why it doesn't crash Windows too I have no idea (from reading the documentation for NdisMFreeSharedMemory(), it appears to be a violation of the API). - Implement strstr(), strchr() and MmIsAddressValid(). - Implement IoAllocateWorkItem(), IoFreeWorkItem(), IoQueueWorkItem() and ExQueueWorkItem(). (This is the second biggest change.) - Make NdisScheduleWorkItem() call ExQueueWorkItem(). (Note that the ExQueueWorkItem() API is deprecated by Microsoft, but NDIS still uses it, since NdisScheduleWorkItem() is incompatible with the IoXXXWorkItem() API.) - Change if_ndis.c to use the NdisScheduleWorkItem() interface for scheduling tasks. With all these changes and fixes, the AirGo MIMO driver for the Belkin F5D8010 Pre-N card now works. Special thanks to Paul Robinson (paul dawt robinson at pwermedia dawt net) for the loan of a card for testing.

Add support for Windows/x86-64 binaries to Project Evil. Ville-Pertti Keinonen (will at exomi dot comohmygodnospampleasekthx) deserves a big thanks for submitting initial patches to make it work. I have mangled his contributions appropriately. The main gotcha with Windows/x86-64 is that Microsoft uses a different calling convention than everyone else. The standard ABI requires using 6 registers for argument passing, with other arguments on the stack. Microsoft uses only 4 registers, and requires the caller to leave room on the stack for the register arguments incase the callee needs to spill them. Unlike x86, where Microsoft uses a mix of _cdecl, _stdcall and _fastcall, all routines on Windows/x86-64 uses the same convention. This unfortunately means that all the functions we export to the driver require an intermediate translation wrapper. Similarly, we have to wrap all calls back into the driver binary itself. The original patches provided macros to wrap every single routine at compile time, providing a secondary jump table with a customized wrapper for each exported routine. I decided to use a different approach: the call wrapper for each function is created from a template at runtime, and the routine to jump to is patched into the wrapper as it is created. The subr_pe module has been modified to patch in the wrapped function instead of the original. (On x86, the wrapping routine is a no-op.) There are some minor API differences that had to be accounted for: - KeAcquireSpinLock() is a real function on amd64, not a macro wrapper around KfAcquireSpinLock() - NdisFreeBuffer() is actually IoFreeMdl(). I had to change the whole NDIS_BUFFER API a bit to accomodate this. Bugs fixed along the way: - IoAllocateMdl() always returned NULL - kern_windrv.c:windrv_unload() wasn't releasing private driver object extensions correctly (found thanks to memguard) This has only been tested with the driver for the Broadcom 802.11g chipset, which was the only Windows/x86-64 driver I could find.

Commit the first cut of Project Evil, also known as the NDISulator. Yes, it's what you think it is. Yes, you should run away now. This is a special compatibility module for allowing Windows NDIS miniport network drivers to be used with FreeBSD/x86. This provides _binary_ NDIS compatibility (not source): you can run NDIS driver code, but you can't build it. There are three main parts: sys/compat/ndis: the NDIS compat API, which provides binary compatibility functions for many routines in NDIS.SYS, HAL.dll and ntoskrnl.exe in Windows (these are the three modules that most NDIS miniport drivers use). The compat module also contains a small PE relocator/dynalinker which relocates the Windows .SYS image and then patches in our native routines. sys/dev/if_ndis: the if_ndis driver wrapper. This module makes use of the ndis compat API and can be compiled with a specially prepared binary image file (ndis_driver_data.h) containing the Windows .SYS image and registry key information parsed out of the accompanying .INF file. Once if_ndis.ko is built, it can be loaded and unloaded just like a native FreeBSD kenrel module. usr.sbin/ndiscvt: a special utility that converts foo.sys and foo.inf into an ndis_driver_data.h file that can be compiled into if_ndis.o. Contains an .inf file parser graciously provided by Matt Dodd (and mercilessly hacked upon by me) that strips out device ID info and registry key info from a .INF file and packages it up with a binary image array. The ndiscvt(8) utility also does some manipulation of the segments within the .sys file to make life easier for the kernel loader. (Doing the manipulation here saves the kernel code from having to move things around later, which would waste memory.) ndiscvt is only built for the i386 arch. Only files.i386 has been updated, and none of this is turned on in GENERIC. It should probably work on pc98. I have no idea about amd64 or ia64 at this point. This is still a work in progress. I estimate it's about %85 done, but I want it under CVS control so I can track subsequent changes. It has been tested with exactly three drivers: the LinkSys LNE100TX v4 driver (Lne100v4.sys), the sample Intel 82559 driver from the Windows DDK (e100bex.sys) and the Broadcom BCM43xx wireless driver (bcmwl5.sys). It still needs to have a net80211 stuff added to it. To use it, you would do something like this: # cd /sys/modules/ndis # make; make load # cd /sys/modules/if_ndis # ndiscvt -i /path/to/foo.inf -s /path/to/foo.sys -o ndis_driver_data.h # make; make load # sysctl -a | grep ndis All registry keys are mapped to sysctl nodes. Sometimes drivers refer to registry keys that aren't mentioned in foo.inf. If this happens, the NDIS API module creates sysctl nodes for these keys on the fly so you can tweak them. An example usage of the Broadcom wireless driver would be: # sysctl hw.ndis0.EnableAutoConnect=1 # sysctl hw.ndis0.SSID="MY_SSID" # sysctl hw.ndis0.NetworkType=0 (0 for bss, 1 for adhoc) # ifconfig ndis0 <my ipaddr> netmask 0xffffff00 up Things to be done: - get rid of debug messages - add in ndis80211 support - defer transmissions until after a status update with NDIS_STATUS_CONNECTED occurs - Create smarter lookaside list support - Split off if_ndis_pci.c and if_ndis_pccard.c attachments - Make sure PCMCIA support works - Fix ndiscvt to properly parse PCMCIA device IDs from INF files - write ndisapi.9 man page

/*
* This allows us to export our symbols to other modules.
* Note that we call ourselves 'ndisapi' to avoid a namespace
* collision with if_ndis.ko, which internally calls itself
* 'ndis.'
Another round of cleanups and fixes: - Change ndis_return() from a DPC to a workitem so that it doesn't run at DISPATCH_LEVEL (with the dispatcher lock held). - In if_ndis.c, submit packets to the stack via (*ifp->if_input)() in a workitem instead of doing it directly in ndis_rxeof(), because ndis_rxeof() runs in a DPC, and hence at DISPATCH_LEVEL. This implies that the 'dispatch level' mutex for the current CPU is being held, and we don't want to call if_input while holding any locks. - Reimplement IoConnectInterrupt()/IoDisconnectInterrupt(). The original approach I used to track down the interrupt resource (by scanning the device tree starting at the nexus) is prone to problems when two devices share an interrupt. (E.g removing ndis1 might disable interrupts for ndis0.) The new approach is to multiplex all the NDIS interrupts through a common internal dispatcher (ntoskrnl_intr()) and allow IoConnectInterrupt()/IoDisconnectInterrupt() to add or remove interrupts from the dispatch list. - Implement KeAcquireInterruptSpinLock() and KeReleaseInterruptSpinLock(). - Change the DPC and workitem threads to use the KeXXXSpinLock API instead of mtx_lock_spin()/mtx_unlock_spin(). - Simplify the NdisXXXPacket routines by creating an actual packet pool structure and using the InterlockedSList routines to manage the packet queue. - Only honor the value returned by OID_GEN_MAXIMUM_SEND_PACKETS for serialized drivers. For deserialized drivers, we now create a packet array of 64 entries. (The Microsoft DDK documentation says that for deserialized miniports, OID_GEN_MAXIMUM_SEND_PACKETS is ignored, and the driver for the Marvell 8335 chip, which is a deserialized miniport, returns 1 when queried.) - Clean up timer handling in subr_ntoskrnl. - Add the following conditional debugging code: NTOSKRNL_DEBUG_TIMERS - add debugging and stats for timers NDIS_DEBUG_PACKETS - add extra sanity checking for NdisXXXPacket API NTOSKRNL_DEBUG_SPINLOCKS - add test for spinning too long - In kern_ndis.c, always start the HAL first and shut it down last, since Windows spinlocks depend on it. Ntoskrnl should similarly be started second and shut down next to last.

* Note: some of the subsystems depend on each other, so the

* importance is:
*
* HAL - spinlocks and IRQL manipulation
* ntoskrnl - DPC and workitem threads, object waiting
* windrv - driver/device registration

Next step on the road to IRPs: create and use an imitation of the Windows DRIVER_OBJECT and DEVICE_OBJECT mechanism so that we can simulate driver stacking. In Windows, each loaded driver image is attached to a DRIVER_OBJECT structure. Windows uses the registry to match up a given vendor/device ID combination with a corresponding DRIVER_OBJECT. When a driver image is first loaded, its DriverEntry() routine is invoked, which sets up the AddDevice() function pointer in the DRIVER_OBJECT and creates a dispatch table (based on IRP major codes). When a Windows bus driver detects a new device, it creates a Physical Device Object (PDO) for it. This is a DEVICE_OBJECT structure, with semantics analagous to that of a device_t in FreeBSD. The Windows PNP manager will invoke the driver's AddDevice() function and pass it pointers to the DRIVER_OBJECT and the PDO. The AddDevice() function then creates a new DRIVER_OBJECT structure of its own. This is known as the Functional Device Object (FDO) and corresponds roughly to a private softc instance. The driver uses IoAttachDeviceToDeviceStack() to add this device object to the driver stack for this PDO. Subsequent drivers (called filter drivers in Windows-speak) can be loaded which add themselves to the stack. When someone issues an IRP to a device, it travel along the stack passing through several possible filter drivers until it reaches the functional driver (which actually knows how to talk to the hardware) at which point it will be completed. This is how Windows achieves driver layering. Project Evil now simulates most of this. if_ndis now has a modevent handler which will use MOD_LOAD and MOD_UNLOAD events to drive the creation and destruction of DRIVER_OBJECTs. (The load event also does the relocation/dynalinking of the image.) We don't have a registry, so the DRIVER_OBJECTS are stored in a linked list for now. Eventually, the list entry will contain the vendor/device ID list extracted from the .INF file. When ndis_probe() is called and detectes a supported device, it will create a PDO for the device instance and attach it to the DRIVER_OBJECT just as in Windows. ndis_attach() will then call our NdisAddDevice() handler to create the FDO. The NDIS miniport block is now a device extension hung off the FDO, just as it is in Windows. The miniport characteristics table is now an extension hung off the DRIVER_OBJECT as well (the characteristics are the same for all devices handled by a given driver, so they don't need to be per-instance.) We also do an IoAttachDeviceToDeviceStack() to put the FDO on the stack for the PDO. There are a couple of fake bus drivers created for the PCI and pccard buses. Eventually, there will be one for USB, which will actually accept USB IRP.s Things should still work just as before, only now we do things in the proper order and maintain the correct framework to support passing IRPs between drivers. Various changes: - corrected the comments about IRQL handling in subr_hal.c to more accurately reflect reality - update ndiscvt to make the drv_data symbol in ndis_driver_data.h a global so that if_ndis_pci.o and/or if_ndis_pccard.o can see it. - Obtain the softc pointer from the miniport block by referencing the PDO rather than a private pointer of our own (nmb_ifp is no longer used) - implement IoAttachDeviceToDeviceStack(), IoDetachDevice(), IoGetAttachedDevice(), IoAllocateDriverObjectExtension(), IoGetDriverObjectExtension(), IoCreateDevice(), IoDeleteDevice(), IoAllocateIrp(), IoReuseIrp(), IoMakeAssociatedIrp(), IoFreeIrp(), IoInitializeIrp() - fix a few mistakes in the driver_object and device_object definitions - add a new module, kern_windrv.c, to handle the driver registration and relocation/dynalinkign duties (which don't really belong in kern_ndis.c). - made ndis_block and ndis_chars in the ndis_softc stucture pointers and modified all references to it - fixed NdisMRegisterMiniport() and NdisInitializeWrapper() so they work correctly with the new driver_object mechanism - changed ndis_attach() to call NdisAddDevice() instead of ndis_load_driver() (which is now deprecated) - used ExAllocatePoolWithTag()/ExFreePool() in lookaside list routines instead of kludged up alloc/free routines - added kern_windrv.c to sys/modules/ndis/Makefile and files.i386.

An example usage of the Broadcom wireless driver would be: # sysctl hw.ndis0.EnableAutoConnect=1 # sysctl hw.ndis0.SSID="MY_SSID" # sysctl hw.ndis0.NetworkType=0 (0 for bss, 1 for adhoc) # ifconfig ndis0 <my ipaddr> netmask 0xffffff00 up Things to be done: - get rid of debug messages - add in ndis80211 support - defer transmissions until after a status update with NDIS_STATUS_CONNECTED occurs - Create smarter lookaside list support - Split off if_ndis_pci.c and if_ndis_pccard.c attachments - Make sure PCMCIA support works - Fix ndiscvt to properly parse PCMCIA device IDs from INF files - write ndisapi.9 man page

Add support for Windows/x86-64 binaries to Project Evil. Ville-Pertti Keinonen (will at exomi dot comohmygodnospampleasekthx) deserves a big thanks for submitting initial patches to make it work. I have mangled his contributions appropriately. The main gotcha with Windows/x86-64 is that Microsoft uses a different calling convention than everyone else. The standard ABI requires using 6 registers for argument passing, with other arguments on the stack. Microsoft uses only 4 registers, and requires the caller to leave room on the stack for the register arguments incase the callee needs to spill them. Unlike x86, where Microsoft uses a mix of _cdecl, _stdcall and _fastcall, all routines on Windows/x86-64 uses the same convention. This unfortunately means that all the functions we export to the driver require an intermediate translation wrapper. Similarly, we have to wrap all calls back into the driver binary itself. The original patches provided macros to wrap every single routine at compile time, providing a secondary jump table with a customized wrapper for each exported routine. I decided to use a different approach: the call wrapper for each function is created from a template at runtime, and the routine to jump to is patched into the wrapper as it is created. The subr_pe module has been modified to patch in the wrapped function instead of the original. (On x86, the wrapping routine is a no-op.) There are some minor API differences that had to be accounted for: - KeAcquireSpinLock() is a real function on amd64, not a macro wrapper around KfAcquireSpinLock() - NdisFreeBuffer() is actually IoFreeMdl(). I had to change the whole NDIS_BUFFER API a bit to accomodate this. Bugs fixed along the way: - IoAllocateMdl() always returned NULL - kern_windrv.c:windrv_unload() wasn't releasing private driver object extensions correctly (found thanks to memguard) This has only been tested with the driver for the Broadcom 802.11g chipset, which was the only Windows/x86-64 driver I could find.

Another round of cleanups and fixes: - Change ndis_return() from a DPC to a workitem so that it doesn't run at DISPATCH_LEVEL (with the dispatcher lock held). - In if_ndis.c, submit packets to the stack via (*ifp->if_input)() in a workitem instead of doing it directly in ndis_rxeof(), because ndis_rxeof() runs in a DPC, and hence at DISPATCH_LEVEL. This implies that the 'dispatch level' mutex for the current CPU is being held, and we don't want to call if_input while holding any locks. - Reimplement IoConnectInterrupt()/IoDisconnectInterrupt(). The original approach I used to track down the interrupt resource (by scanning the device tree starting at the nexus) is prone to problems when two devices share an interrupt. (E.g removing ndis1 might disable interrupts for ndis0.) The new approach is to multiplex all the NDIS interrupts through a common internal dispatcher (ntoskrnl_intr()) and allow IoConnectInterrupt()/IoDisconnectInterrupt() to add or remove interrupts from the dispatch list. - Implement KeAcquireInterruptSpinLock() and KeReleaseInterruptSpinLock(). - Change the DPC and workitem threads to use the KeXXXSpinLock API instead of mtx_lock_spin()/mtx_unlock_spin(). - Simplify the NdisXXXPacket routines by creating an actual packet pool structure and using the InterlockedSList routines to manage the packet queue. - Only honor the value returned by OID_GEN_MAXIMUM_SEND_PACKETS for serialized drivers. For deserialized drivers, we now create a packet array of 64 entries. (The Microsoft DDK documentation says that for deserialized miniports, OID_GEN_MAXIMUM_SEND_PACKETS is ignored, and the driver for the Marvell 8335 chip, which is a deserialized miniport, returns 1 when queried.) - Clean up timer handling in subr_ntoskrnl. - Add the following conditional debugging code: NTOSKRNL_DEBUG_TIMERS - add debugging and stats for timers NDIS_DEBUG_PACKETS - add extra sanity checking for NdisXXXPacket API NTOSKRNL_DEBUG_SPINLOCKS - add test for spinning too long - In kern_ndis.c, always start the HAL first and shut it down last, since Windows spinlocks depend on it. Ntoskrnl should similarly be started second and shut down next to last.

- Correct one aspect of the driver_object/device_object/IRP framework: when we create a PDO, the driver_object associated with it is that of the parent driver, not the driver we're trying to attach. For example, if we attach a PCI device, the PDO we pass to the NdisAddDevice() function should contain a pointer to fake_pci_driver, not to the NDIS driver itself. For PCI or PCMCIA devices this doesn't matter because the child never needs to talk to the parent bus driver, but for USB, the child needs to be able to send IRPs to the parent USB bus driver, and for that to work the parent USB bus driver has to be hung off the PDO. This involves modifying windrv_lookup() so that we can search for bus drivers by name, if necessary. Our fake bus drivers attach themselves as "PCI Bus," "PCCARD Bus" and "USB Bus," so we can search for them using those names. The individual attachment stubs now create and attach PDOs to the parent bus drivers instead of hanging them off the NDIS driver's object, and in if_ndis.c, we now search for the correct driver object depending on the bus type, and use that to find the correct PDO. With this fix, I can get my sample USB ethernet driver to deliver an IRP to my fake parent USB bus driver's dispatch routines. - Add stub modules for USB support: subr_usbd.c, usbd_var.h and if_ndis_usb.c. The subr_usbd.c module is hooked up the build but currently doesn't do very much. It provides the stub USB parent driver object and a dispatch routine for IRM_MJ_INTERNAL_DEVICE_CONTROL.

Create new i386 windows/bsd thunking layer, similar to the amd64 thunking layer, but with a twist. The twist has to do with the fact that Microsoft supports structured exception handling in kernel mode. On the i386 arch, exception handling is implemented by hanging an exception registration list off the Thread Environment Block (TEB), and the TEB is accessed via the %fs register. The problem is, we use %fs as a pointer to the pcpu stucture, which means any driver that tries to write through %fs:0 will overwrite the curthread pointer and make a serious mess of things. To get around this, Project Evil now creates a special entry in the GDT on each processor. When we call into Windows code, a context switch routine will fix up %fs so it points to our new descriptor, which in turn points to a fake TEB. When the Windows code returns, or calls out to an external routine, we swap %fs back again. Currently, Project Evil makes use of GDT slot 7, which is all 0s by default. I fully expect someone to jump up and say I can't do that, but I couldn't find any code that makes use of this entry anywhere. Sadly, this was the only method I could come up with that worked on both UP and SMP. (Modifying the LDT works on UP, but becomes incredibly complicated on SMP.) If necessary, the context switching stuff can be yanked out while preserving the convention calling wrappers. (Fortunately, it looks like Microsoft uses some special epilog/prolog code on amd64 to implement exception handling, so the same nastiness won't be necessary on that arch.) The advantages are: - Any driver that uses %fs as though it were a TEB pointer won't clobber pcpu. - All the __stdcall/__fastcall/__regparm stuff that's specific to gcc goes away. Also, while I'm here, switch NdisGetSystemUpTime() back to using nanouptime() again. It turns out nanouptime() is way more accurate than just using ticks(). On slower machines, the Atheros drivers I tested seem to take a long time to associate due to the loss in accuracy.

Next step on the road to IRPs: create and use an imitation of the Windows DRIVER_OBJECT and DEVICE_OBJECT mechanism so that we can simulate driver stacking. In Windows, each loaded driver image is attached to a DRIVER_OBJECT structure. Windows uses the registry to match up a given vendor/device ID combination with a corresponding DRIVER_OBJECT. When a driver image is first loaded, its DriverEntry() routine is invoked, which sets up the AddDevice() function pointer in the DRIVER_OBJECT and creates a dispatch table (based on IRP major codes). When a Windows bus driver detects a new device, it creates a Physical Device Object (PDO) for it. This is a DEVICE_OBJECT structure, with semantics analagous to that of a device_t in FreeBSD. The Windows PNP manager will invoke the driver's AddDevice() function and pass it pointers to the DRIVER_OBJECT and the PDO. The AddDevice() function then creates a new DRIVER_OBJECT structure of its own. This is known as the Functional Device Object (FDO) and corresponds roughly to a private softc instance. The driver uses IoAttachDeviceToDeviceStack() to add this device object to the driver stack for this PDO. Subsequent drivers (called filter drivers in Windows-speak) can be loaded which add themselves to the stack. When someone issues an IRP to a device, it travel along the stack passing through several possible filter drivers until it reaches the functional driver (which actually knows how to talk to the hardware) at which point it will be completed. This is how Windows achieves driver layering. Project Evil now simulates most of this. if_ndis now has a modevent handler which will use MOD_LOAD and MOD_UNLOAD events to drive the creation and destruction of DRIVER_OBJECTs. (The load event also does the relocation/dynalinking of the image.) We don't have a registry, so the DRIVER_OBJECTS are stored in a linked list for now. Eventually, the list entry will contain the vendor/device ID list extracted from the .INF file. When ndis_probe() is called and detectes a supported device, it will create a PDO for the device instance and attach it to the DRIVER_OBJECT just as in Windows. ndis_attach() will then call our NdisAddDevice() handler to create the FDO. The NDIS miniport block is now a device extension hung off the FDO, just as it is in Windows. The miniport characteristics table is now an extension hung off the DRIVER_OBJECT as well (the characteristics are the same for all devices handled by a given driver, so they don't need to be per-instance.) We also do an IoAttachDeviceToDeviceStack() to put the FDO on the stack for the PDO. There are a couple of fake bus drivers created for the PCI and pccard buses. Eventually, there will be one for USB, which will actually accept USB IRP.s Things should still work just as before, only now we do things in the proper order and maintain the correct framework to support passing IRPs between drivers. Various changes: - corrected the comments about IRQL handling in subr_hal.c to more accurately reflect reality - update ndiscvt to make the drv_data symbol in ndis_driver_data.h a global so that if_ndis_pci.o and/or if_ndis_pccard.o can see it. - Obtain the softc pointer from the miniport block by referencing the PDO rather than a private pointer of our own (nmb_ifp is no longer used) - implement IoAttachDeviceToDeviceStack(), IoDetachDevice(), IoGetAttachedDevice(), IoAllocateDriverObjectExtension(), IoGetDriverObjectExtension(), IoCreateDevice(), IoDeleteDevice(), IoAllocateIrp(), IoReuseIrp(), IoMakeAssociatedIrp(), IoFreeIrp(), IoInitializeIrp() - fix a few mistakes in the driver_object and device_object definitions - add a new module, kern_windrv.c, to handle the driver registration and relocation/dynalinkign duties (which don't really belong in kern_ndis.c). - made ndis_block and ndis_chars in the ndis_softc stucture pointers and modified all references to it - fixed NdisMRegisterMiniport() and NdisInitializeWrapper() so they work correctly with the new driver_object mechanism - changed ndis_attach() to call NdisAddDevice() instead of ndis_load_driver() (which is now deprecated) - used ExAllocatePoolWithTag()/ExFreePool() in lookaside list routines instead of kludged up alloc/free routines - added kern_windrv.c to sys/modules/ndis/Makefile and files.i386.

The new approach is to multiplex all the NDIS interrupts through a common internal dispatcher (ntoskrnl_intr()) and allow IoConnectInterrupt()/IoDisconnectInterrupt() to add or remove interrupts from the dispatch list. - Implement KeAcquireInterruptSpinLock() and KeReleaseInterruptSpinLock(). - Change the DPC and workitem threads to use the KeXXXSpinLock API instead of mtx_lock_spin()/mtx_unlock_spin(). - Simplify the NdisXXXPacket routines by creating an actual packet pool structure and using the InterlockedSList routines to manage the packet queue. - Only honor the value returned by OID_GEN_MAXIMUM_SEND_PACKETS for serialized drivers. For deserialized drivers, we now create a packet array of 64 entries. (The Microsoft DDK documentation says that for deserialized miniports, OID_GEN_MAXIMUM_SEND_PACKETS is ignored, and the driver for the Marvell 8335 chip, which is a deserialized miniport, returns 1 when queried.) - Clean up timer handling in subr_ntoskrnl. - Add the following conditional debugging code: NTOSKRNL_DEBUG_TIMERS - add debugging and stats for timers NDIS_DEBUG_PACKETS - add extra sanity checking for NdisXXXPacket API NTOSKRNL_DEBUG_SPINLOCKS - add test for spinning too long - In kern_ndis.c, always start the HAL first and shut it down last, since Windows spinlocks depend on it. Ntoskrnl should similarly be started second and shut down next to last.

Add support for Windows/x86-64 binaries to Project Evil. Ville-Pertti Keinonen (will at exomi dot comohmygodnospampleasekthx) deserves a big thanks for submitting initial patches to make it work. I have mangled his contributions appropriately. The main gotcha with Windows/x86-64 is that Microsoft uses a different calling convention than everyone else. The standard ABI requires using 6 registers for argument passing, with other arguments on the stack. Microsoft uses only 4 registers, and requires the caller to leave room on the stack for the register arguments incase the callee needs to spill them. Unlike x86, where Microsoft uses a mix of _cdecl, _stdcall and _fastcall, all routines on Windows/x86-64 uses the same convention. This unfortunately means that all the functions we export to the driver require an intermediate translation wrapper. Similarly, we have to wrap all calls back into the driver binary itself. The original patches provided macros to wrap every single routine at compile time, providing a secondary jump table with a customized wrapper for each exported routine. I decided to use a different approach: the call wrapper for each function is created from a template at runtime, and the routine to jump to is patched into the wrapper as it is created. The subr_pe module has been modified to patch in the wrapped function instead of the original. (On x86, the wrapping routine is a no-op.) There are some minor API differences that had to be accounted for: - KeAcquireSpinLock() is a real function on amd64, not a macro wrapper around KfAcquireSpinLock() - NdisFreeBuffer() is actually IoFreeMdl(). I had to change the whole NDIS_BUFFER API a bit to accomodate this. Bugs fixed along the way: - IoAllocateMdl() always returned NULL - kern_windrv.c:windrv_unload() wasn't releasing private driver object extensions correctly (found thanks to memguard) This has only been tested with the driver for the Broadcom 802.11g chipset, which was the only Windows/x86-64 driver I could find.

Create new i386 windows/bsd thunking layer, similar to the amd64 thunking layer, but with a twist. The twist has to do with the fact that Microsoft supports structured exception handling in kernel mode. On the i386 arch, exception handling is implemented by hanging an exception registration list off the Thread Environment Block (TEB), and the TEB is accessed via the %fs register. The problem is, we use %fs as a pointer to the pcpu stucture, which means any driver that tries to write through %fs:0 will overwrite the curthread pointer and make a serious mess of things. To get around this, Project Evil now creates a special entry in the GDT on each processor. When we call into Windows code, a context switch routine will fix up %fs so it points to our new descriptor, which in turn points to a fake TEB. When the Windows code returns, or calls out to an external routine, we swap %fs back again. Currently, Project Evil makes use of GDT slot 7, which is all 0s by default. I fully expect someone to jump up and say I can't do that, but I couldn't find any code that makes use of this entry anywhere. Sadly, this was the only method I could come up with that worked on both UP and SMP. (Modifying the LDT works on UP, but becomes incredibly complicated on SMP.) If necessary, the context switching stuff can be yanked out while preserving the convention calling wrappers. (Fortunately, it looks like Microsoft uses some special epilog/prolog code on amd64 to implement exception handling, so the same nastiness won't be necessary on that arch.) The advantages are: - Any driver that uses %fs as though it were a TEB pointer won't clobber pcpu. - All the __stdcall/__fastcall/__regparm stuff that's specific to gcc goes away. Also, while I'm here, switch NdisGetSystemUpTime() back to using nanouptime() again. It turns out nanouptime() is way more accurate than just using ticks(). On slower machines, the Atheros drivers I tested seem to take a long time to associate due to the loss in accuracy.

Next step on the road to IRPs: create and use an imitation of the Windows DRIVER_OBJECT and DEVICE_OBJECT mechanism so that we can simulate driver stacking. In Windows, each loaded driver image is attached to a DRIVER_OBJECT structure. Windows uses the registry to match up a given vendor/device ID combination with a corresponding DRIVER_OBJECT. When a driver image is first loaded, its DriverEntry() routine is invoked, which sets up the AddDevice() function pointer in the DRIVER_OBJECT and creates a dispatch table (based on IRP major codes). When a Windows bus driver detects a new device, it creates a Physical Device Object (PDO) for it. This is a DEVICE_OBJECT structure, with semantics analagous to that of a device_t in FreeBSD. The Windows PNP manager will invoke the driver's AddDevice() function and pass it pointers to the DRIVER_OBJECT and the PDO. The AddDevice() function then creates a new DRIVER_OBJECT structure of its own. This is known as the Functional Device Object (FDO) and corresponds roughly to a private softc instance. The driver uses IoAttachDeviceToDeviceStack() to add this device object to the driver stack for this PDO. Subsequent drivers (called filter drivers in Windows-speak) can be loaded which add themselves to the stack. When someone issues an IRP to a device, it travel along the stack passing through several possible filter drivers until it reaches the functional driver (which actually knows how to talk to the hardware) at which point it will be completed. This is how Windows achieves driver layering. Project Evil now simulates most of this. if_ndis now has a modevent handler which will use MOD_LOAD and MOD_UNLOAD events to drive the creation and destruction of DRIVER_OBJECTs. (The load event also does the relocation/dynalinking of the image.) We don't have a registry, so the DRIVER_OBJECTS are stored in a linked list for now. Eventually, the list entry will contain the vendor/device ID list extracted from the .INF file. When ndis_probe() is called and detectes a supported device, it will create a PDO for the device instance and attach it to the DRIVER_OBJECT just as in Windows. ndis_attach() will then call our NdisAddDevice() handler to create the FDO. The NDIS miniport block is now a device extension hung off the FDO, just as it is in Windows. The miniport characteristics table is now an extension hung off the DRIVER_OBJECT as well (the characteristics are the same for all devices handled by a given driver, so they don't need to be per-instance.) We also do an IoAttachDeviceToDeviceStack() to put the FDO on the stack for the PDO. There are a couple of fake bus drivers created for the PCI and pccard buses. Eventually, there will be one for USB, which will actually accept USB IRP.s Things should still work just as before, only now we do things in the proper order and maintain the correct framework to support passing IRPs between drivers. Various changes: - corrected the comments about IRQL handling in subr_hal.c to more accurately reflect reality - update ndiscvt to make the drv_data symbol in ndis_driver_data.h a global so that if_ndis_pci.o and/or if_ndis_pccard.o can see it. - Obtain the softc pointer from the miniport block by referencing the PDO rather than a private pointer of our own (nmb_ifp is no longer used) - implement IoAttachDeviceToDeviceStack(), IoDetachDevice(), IoGetAttachedDevice(), IoAllocateDriverObjectExtension(), IoGetDriverObjectExtension(), IoCreateDevice(), IoDeleteDevice(), IoAllocateIrp(), IoReuseIrp(), IoMakeAssociatedIrp(), IoFreeIrp(), IoInitializeIrp() - fix a few mistakes in the driver_object and device_object definitions - add a new module, kern_windrv.c, to handle the driver registration and relocation/dynalinkign duties (which don't really belong in kern_ndis.c). - made ndis_block and ndis_chars in the ndis_softc stucture pointers and modified all references to it - fixed NdisMRegisterMiniport() and NdisInitializeWrapper() so they work correctly with the new driver_object mechanism - changed ndis_attach() to call NdisAddDevice() instead of ndis_load_driver() (which is now deprecated) - used ExAllocatePoolWithTag()/ExFreePool() in lookaside list routines instead of kludged up alloc/free routines - added kern_windrv.c to sys/modules/ndis/Makefile and files.i386.

Create new i386 windows/bsd thunking layer, similar to the amd64 thunking layer, but with a twist. The twist has to do with the fact that Microsoft supports structured exception handling in kernel mode. On the i386 arch, exception handling is implemented by hanging an exception registration list off the Thread Environment Block (TEB), and the TEB is accessed via the %fs register. The problem is, we use %fs as a pointer to the pcpu stucture, which means any driver that tries to write through %fs:0 will overwrite the curthread pointer and make a serious mess of things. To get around this, Project Evil now creates a special entry in the GDT on each processor. When we call into Windows code, a context switch routine will fix up %fs so it points to our new descriptor, which in turn points to a fake TEB. When the Windows code returns, or calls out to an external routine, we swap %fs back again. Currently, Project Evil makes use of GDT slot 7, which is all 0s by default. I fully expect someone to jump up and say I can't do that, but I couldn't find any code that makes use of this entry anywhere. Sadly, this was the only method I could come up with that worked on both UP and SMP. (Modifying the LDT works on UP, but becomes incredibly complicated on SMP.) If necessary, the context switching stuff can be yanked out while preserving the convention calling wrappers. (Fortunately, it looks like Microsoft uses some special epilog/prolog code on amd64 to implement exception handling, so the same nastiness won't be necessary on that arch.) The advantages are: - Any driver that uses %fs as though it were a TEB pointer won't clobber pcpu. - All the __stdcall/__fastcall/__regparm stuff that's specific to gcc goes away. Also, while I'm here, switch NdisGetSystemUpTime() back to using nanouptime() again. It turns out nanouptime() is way more accurate than just using ticks(). On slower machines, the Atheros drivers I tested seem to take a long time to associate due to the loss in accuracy.

Commit the first cut of Project Evil, also known as the NDISulator. Yes, it's what you think it is. Yes, you should run away now. This is a special compatibility module for allowing Windows NDIS miniport network drivers to be used with FreeBSD/x86. This provides _binary_ NDIS compatibility (not source): you can run NDIS driver code, but you can't build it. There are three main parts: sys/compat/ndis: the NDIS compat API, which provides binary compatibility functions for many routines in NDIS.SYS, HAL.dll and ntoskrnl.exe in Windows (these are the three modules that most NDIS miniport drivers use). The compat module also contains a small PE relocator/dynalinker which relocates the Windows .SYS image and then patches in our native routines. sys/dev/if_ndis: the if_ndis driver wrapper. This module makes use of the ndis compat API and can be compiled with a specially prepared binary image file (ndis_driver_data.h) containing the Windows .SYS image and registry key information parsed out of the accompanying .INF file. Once if_ndis.ko is built, it can be loaded and unloaded just like a native FreeBSD kenrel module. usr.sbin/ndiscvt: a special utility that converts foo.sys and foo.inf into an ndis_driver_data.h file that can be compiled into if_ndis.o. Contains an .inf file parser graciously provided by Matt Dodd (and mercilessly hacked upon by me) that strips out device ID info and registry key info from a .INF file and packages it up with a binary image array. The ndiscvt(8) utility also does some manipulation of the segments within the .sys file to make life easier for the kernel loader. (Doing the manipulation here saves the kernel code from having to move things around later, which would waste memory.) ndiscvt is only built for the i386 arch. Only files.i386 has been updated, and none of this is turned on in GENERIC. It should probably work on pc98. I have no idea about amd64 or ia64 at this point. This is still a work in progress. I estimate it's about %85 done, but I want it under CVS control so I can track subsequent changes. It has been tested with exactly three drivers: the LinkSys LNE100TX v4 driver (Lne100v4.sys), the sample Intel 82559 driver from the Windows DDK (e100bex.sys) and the Broadcom BCM43xx wireless driver (bcmwl5.sys). It still needs to have a net80211 stuff added to it. To use it, you would do something like this: # cd /sys/modules/ndis # make; make load # cd /sys/modules/if_ndis # ndiscvt -i /path/to/foo.inf -s /path/to/foo.sys -o ndis_driver_data.h # make; make load # sysctl -a | grep ndis All registry keys are mapped to sysctl nodes. Sometimes drivers refer to registry keys that aren't mentioned in foo.inf. If this happens, the NDIS API module creates sysctl nodes for these keys on the fly so you can tweak them.

Next step on the road to IRPs: create and use an imitation of the Windows DRIVER_OBJECT and DEVICE_OBJECT mechanism so that we can simulate driver stacking. In Windows, each loaded driver image is attached to a DRIVER_OBJECT structure. Windows uses the registry to match up a given vendor/device ID combination with a corresponding DRIVER_OBJECT. When a driver image is first loaded, its DriverEntry() routine is invoked, which sets up the AddDevice() function pointer in the DRIVER_OBJECT and creates a dispatch table (based on IRP major codes). When a Windows bus driver detects a new device, it creates a Physical Device Object (PDO) for it. This is a DEVICE_OBJECT structure, with semantics analagous to that of a device_t in FreeBSD. The Windows PNP manager will invoke the driver's AddDevice() function and pass it pointers to the DRIVER_OBJECT and the PDO. The AddDevice() function then creates a new DRIVER_OBJECT structure of its own. This is known as the Functional Device Object (FDO) and corresponds roughly to a private softc instance. The driver uses IoAttachDeviceToDeviceStack() to add this device object to the driver stack for this PDO. Subsequent drivers (called filter drivers in Windows-speak) can be loaded which add themselves to the stack. When someone issues an IRP to a device, it travel along the stack passing through several possible filter drivers until it reaches the functional driver (which actually knows how to talk to the hardware) at which point it will be completed. This is how Windows achieves driver layering. Project Evil now simulates most of this. if_ndis now has a modevent handler which will use MOD_LOAD and MOD_UNLOAD events to drive the creation and destruction of DRIVER_OBJECTs. (The load event also does the relocation/dynalinking of the image.) We don't have a registry, so the DRIVER_OBJECTS are stored in a linked list for now. Eventually, the list entry will contain the vendor/device ID list extracted from the .INF file. When ndis_probe() is called and detectes a supported device, it will create a PDO for the device instance and attach it to the DRIVER_OBJECT just as in Windows. ndis_attach() will then call our NdisAddDevice() handler to create the FDO. The NDIS miniport block is now a device extension hung off the FDO, just as it is in Windows. The miniport characteristics table is now an extension hung off the DRIVER_OBJECT as well (the characteristics are the same for all devices handled by a given driver, so they don't need to be per-instance.) We also do an IoAttachDeviceToDeviceStack() to put the FDO on the stack for the PDO. There are a couple of fake bus drivers created for the PCI and pccard buses. Eventually, there will be one for USB, which will actually accept USB IRP.s Things should still work just as before, only now we do things in the proper order and maintain the correct framework to support passing IRPs between drivers. Various changes: - corrected the comments about IRQL handling in subr_hal.c to more accurately reflect reality - update ndiscvt to make the drv_data symbol in ndis_driver_data.h a global so that if_ndis_pci.o and/or if_ndis_pccard.o can see it. - Obtain the softc pointer from the miniport block by referencing the PDO rather than a private pointer of our own (nmb_ifp is no longer used) - implement IoAttachDeviceToDeviceStack(), IoDetachDevice(), IoGetAttachedDevice(), IoAllocateDriverObjectExtension(), IoGetDriverObjectExtension(), IoCreateDevice(), IoDeleteDevice(), IoAllocateIrp(), IoReuseIrp(), IoMakeAssociatedIrp(), IoFreeIrp(), IoInitializeIrp() - fix a few mistakes in the driver_object and device_object definitions - add a new module, kern_windrv.c, to handle the driver registration and relocation/dynalinkign duties (which don't really belong in kern_ndis.c). - made ndis_block and ndis_chars in the ndis_softc stucture pointers and modified all references to it - fixed NdisMRegisterMiniport() and NdisInitializeWrapper() so they work correctly with the new driver_object mechanism - changed ndis_attach() to call NdisAddDevice() instead of ndis_load_driver() (which is now deprecated) - used ExAllocatePoolWithTag()/ExFreePool() in lookaside list routines instead of kludged up alloc/free routines - added kern_windrv.c to sys/modules/ndis/Makefile and files.i386.

Create new i386 windows/bsd thunking layer, similar to the amd64 thunking layer, but with a twist. The twist has to do with the fact that Microsoft supports structured exception handling in kernel mode. On the i386 arch, exception handling is implemented by hanging an exception registration list off the Thread Environment Block (TEB), and the TEB is accessed via the %fs register. The problem is, we use %fs as a pointer to the pcpu stucture, which means any driver that tries to write through %fs:0 will overwrite the curthread pointer and make a serious mess of things. To get around this, Project Evil now creates a special entry in the GDT on each processor. When we call into Windows code, a context switch routine will fix up %fs so it points to our new descriptor, which in turn points to a fake TEB. When the Windows code returns, or calls out to an external routine, we swap %fs back again. Currently, Project Evil makes use of GDT slot 7, which is all 0s by default. I fully expect someone to jump up and say I can't do that, but I couldn't find any code that makes use of this entry anywhere. Sadly, this was the only method I could come up with that worked on both UP and SMP. (Modifying the LDT works on UP, but becomes incredibly complicated on SMP.) If necessary, the context switching stuff can be yanked out while preserving the convention calling wrappers. (Fortunately, it looks like Microsoft uses some special epilog/prolog code on amd64 to implement exception handling, so the same nastiness won't be necessary on that arch.) The advantages are: - Any driver that uses %fs as though it were a TEB pointer won't clobber pcpu. - All the __stdcall/__fastcall/__regparm stuff that's specific to gcc goes away. Also, while I'm here, switch NdisGetSystemUpTime() back to using nanouptime() again. It turns out nanouptime() is way more accurate than just using ticks(). On slower machines, the Atheros drivers I tested seem to take a long time to associate due to the loss in accuracy.

Next step on the road to IRPs: create and use an imitation of the Windows DRIVER_OBJECT and DEVICE_OBJECT mechanism so that we can simulate driver stacking. In Windows, each loaded driver image is attached to a DRIVER_OBJECT structure. Windows uses the registry to match up a given vendor/device ID combination with a corresponding DRIVER_OBJECT. When a driver image is first loaded, its DriverEntry() routine is invoked, which sets up the AddDevice() function pointer in the DRIVER_OBJECT and creates a dispatch table (based on IRP major codes). When a Windows bus driver detects a new device, it creates a Physical Device Object (PDO) for it. This is a DEVICE_OBJECT structure, with semantics analagous to that of a device_t in FreeBSD. The Windows PNP manager will invoke the driver's AddDevice() function and pass it pointers to the DRIVER_OBJECT and the PDO. The AddDevice() function then creates a new DRIVER_OBJECT structure of its own. This is known as the Functional Device Object (FDO) and corresponds roughly to a private softc instance. The driver uses IoAttachDeviceToDeviceStack() to add this device object to the driver stack for this PDO. Subsequent drivers (called filter drivers in Windows-speak) can be loaded which add themselves to the stack. When someone issues an IRP to a device, it travel along the stack passing through several possible filter drivers until it reaches the functional driver (which actually knows how to talk to the hardware) at which point it will be completed. This is how Windows achieves driver layering. Project Evil now simulates most of this. if_ndis now has a modevent handler which will use MOD_LOAD and MOD_UNLOAD events to drive the creation and destruction of DRIVER_OBJECTs. (The load event also does the relocation/dynalinking of the image.) We don't have a registry, so the DRIVER_OBJECTS are stored in a linked list for now. Eventually, the list entry will contain the vendor/device ID list extracted from the .INF file. When ndis_probe() is called and detectes a supported device, it will create a PDO for the device instance and attach it to the DRIVER_OBJECT just as in Windows. ndis_attach() will then call our NdisAddDevice() handler to create the FDO. The NDIS miniport block is now a device extension hung off the FDO, just as it is in Windows. The miniport characteristics table is now an extension hung off the DRIVER_OBJECT as well (the characteristics are the same for all devices handled by a given driver, so they don't need to be per-instance.) We also do an IoAttachDeviceToDeviceStack() to put the FDO on the stack for the PDO. There are a couple of fake bus drivers created for the PCI and pccard buses. Eventually, there will be one for USB, which will actually accept USB IRP.s Things should still work just as before, only now we do things in the proper order and maintain the correct framework to support passing IRPs between drivers. Various changes: - corrected the comments about IRQL handling in subr_hal.c to more accurately reflect reality - update ndiscvt to make the drv_data symbol in ndis_driver_data.h a global so that if_ndis_pci.o and/or if_ndis_pccard.o can see it. - Obtain the softc pointer from the miniport block by referencing the PDO rather than a private pointer of our own (nmb_ifp is no longer used) - implement IoAttachDeviceToDeviceStack(), IoDetachDevice(), IoGetAttachedDevice(), IoAllocateDriverObjectExtension(), IoGetDriverObjectExtension(), IoCreateDevice(), IoDeleteDevice(), IoAllocateIrp(), IoReuseIrp(), IoMakeAssociatedIrp(), IoFreeIrp(), IoInitializeIrp() - fix a few mistakes in the driver_object and device_object definitions - add a new module, kern_windrv.c, to handle the driver registration and relocation/dynalinkign duties (which don't really belong in kern_ndis.c). - made ndis_block and ndis_chars in the ndis_softc stucture pointers and modified all references to it - fixed NdisMRegisterMiniport() and NdisInitializeWrapper() so they work correctly with the new driver_object mechanism - changed ndis_attach() to call NdisAddDevice() instead of ndis_load_driver() (which is now deprecated) - used ExAllocatePoolWithTag()/ExFreePool() in lookaside list routines instead of kludged up alloc/free routines - added kern_windrv.c to sys/modules/ndis/Makefile and files.i386.

Big mess 'o changes: - Give ndiscvt(8) the ability to process a .SYS file directly into a .o file so that we don't have to emit big messy char arrays into the ndis_driver_data.h file. This behavior is currently optional, but may become the default some day. - Give ndiscvt(8) the ability to turn arbitrary files into .ko files so that they can be pre-loaded or kldloaded. (Both this and the previous change involve using objcopy(1)). - Give NdisOpenFile() the ability to 'read' files out of kernel memory that have been kldloaded or pre-loaded, and disallow the use of the normal vn_open() file opening method during bootstrap (when no filesystems have been mounted yet). Some people have reported that kldloading if_ndis.ko works fine when the system is running multiuser but causes a panic when the modile is pre-loaded by /boot/loader. This happens with drivers that need to use NdisOpenFile() to access external files (i.e. firmware images). NdisOpenFile() won't work during kernel bootstrapping because no filesystems have been mounted. To get around this, you can now do the following: o Say you have a firmware file called firmware.img o Do: ndiscvt -f firmware.img -- this creates firmware.img.ko o Put the firmware.img.ko in /boot/kernel o add firmware.img_load="YES" in /boot/loader.conf o add if_ndis_load="YES" and ndis_load="YES" as well Now the loader will suck the additional file into memory as a .ko. The phony .ko has two symbols in it: filename_start and filename_end, which are generated by objcopy(1). ndis_open_file() will traverse each module in the module list looking for these symbols and, if it finds them, it'll use them to generate the file mapping address and length values that the caller of NdisOpenFile() wants. As a bonus, this will even work if the file has been statically linked into the kernel itself, since the "kernel" module is searched too. (ndiscvt(8) will generate both filename.o and filename.ko for you). - Modify the mechanism used to provide make-pretend FASTCALL support. Rather than using inline assembly to yank the first two arguments out of %ecx and %edx, we now use the __regparm__(3) attribute (and the __stdcall__ attribute) and use some macro magic to re-order the arguments and provide dummy arguments as needed so that the arguments passed in registers end up in the right place. Change taken from DragonflyBSD version of the NDISulator.

This commit makes a bunch of changes, some big, some not so big. - Remove the old task threads from kern_ndis.c and reimplement them in subr_ntoskrnl.c, in order to more properly emulate the Windows DPC API. Each CPU gets its own DPC queue/thread, and each queue can have low, medium and high importance DPCs. New APIs implemented: KeSetTargetProcessorDpc(), KeSetImportanceDpc() and KeFlushQueuedDpcs(). (This is the biggest change.) - Fix a bug in NdisMInitializeTimer(): the k_dpc pointer in the nmt_timer embedded in the ndis_miniport_timer struct must be set to point to the DPC, also embedded in the struct. Failing to do this breaks dequeueing of DPCs submitted via timers, and in turn breaks cancelling timers. - Fix a bug in KeCancelTimer(): if the timer is interted in the timer queue (i.e. the timeout callback is still pending), we have to both untimeout() the timer _and_ call KeRemoveQueueDpc() to nuke the DPC that might be pending. Failing to do this breaks cancellation of periodic timers, which always appear to be inserted in the timer queue. - Make use of the nmt_nexttimer field in ndis_miniport_timer: keep a queue of pending timers and cancel them all in ndis_halt_nic(), prior to calling MiniportHalt(). Also call KeFlushQueuedDpcs() to make sure any DPCs queued by the timers have expired. - Modify NdisMAllocateSharedMemory() and NdisMFreeSharedMemory() to keep track of both the virtual and physical addresses of the shared memory buffers that get handed out. The AirGo MIMO driver appears to have a bug in it: for one of the segments is allocates, it returns the wrong virtual address. This would confuse NdisMFreeSharedMemory() and cause a crash. Why it doesn't crash Windows too I have no idea (from reading the documentation for NdisMFreeSharedMemory(), it appears to be a violation of the API). - Implement strstr(), strchr() and MmIsAddressValid(). - Implement IoAllocateWorkItem(), IoFreeWorkItem(), IoQueueWorkItem() and ExQueueWorkItem(). (This is the second biggest change.) - Make NdisScheduleWorkItem() call ExQueueWorkItem(). (Note that the ExQueueWorkItem() API is deprecated by Microsoft, but NDIS still uses it, since NdisScheduleWorkItem() is incompatible with the IoXXXWorkItem() API.) - Change if_ndis.c to use the NdisScheduleWorkItem() interface for scheduling tasks. With all these changes and fixes, the AirGo MIMO driver for the Belkin F5D8010 Pre-N card now works. Special thanks to Paul Robinson (paul dawt robinson at pwermedia dawt net) for the loan of a card for testing.

Big mess 'o changes: - Give ndiscvt(8) the ability to process a .SYS file directly into a .o file so that we don't have to emit big messy char arrays into the ndis_driver_data.h file. This behavior is currently optional, but may become the default some day. - Give ndiscvt(8) the ability to turn arbitrary files into .ko files so that they can be pre-loaded or kldloaded. (Both this and the previous change involve using objcopy(1)). - Give NdisOpenFile() the ability to 'read' files out of kernel memory that have been kldloaded or pre-loaded, and disallow the use of the normal vn_open() file opening method during bootstrap (when no filesystems have been mounted yet). Some people have reported that kldloading if_ndis.ko works fine when the system is running multiuser but causes a panic when the modile is pre-loaded by /boot/loader. This happens with drivers that need to use NdisOpenFile() to access external files (i.e. firmware images). NdisOpenFile() won't work during kernel bootstrapping because no filesystems have been mounted. To get around this, you can now do the following: o Say you have a firmware file called firmware.img o Do: ndiscvt -f firmware.img -- this creates firmware.img.ko o Put the firmware.img.ko in /boot/kernel o add firmware.img_load="YES" in /boot/loader.conf o add if_ndis_load="YES" and ndis_load="YES" as well Now the loader will suck the additional file into memory as a .ko. The phony .ko has two symbols in it: filename_start and filename_end, which are generated by objcopy(1). ndis_open_file() will traverse each module in the module list looking for these symbols and, if it finds them, it'll use them to generate the file mapping address and length values that the caller of NdisOpenFile() wants. As a bonus, this will even work if the file has been statically linked into the kernel itself, since the "kernel" module is searched too. (ndiscvt(8) will generate both filename.o and filename.ko for you). - Modify the mechanism used to provide make-pretend FASTCALL support. Rather than using inline assembly to yank the first two arguments out of %ecx and %edx, we now use the __regparm__(3) attribute (and the __stdcall__ attribute) and use some macro magic to re-order the arguments and provide dummy arguments as needed so that the arguments passed in registers end up in the right place. Change taken from DragonflyBSD version of the NDISulator.

This commit makes a big round of updates and fixes many, many things. First and most importantly, I threw out the thread priority-twiddling implementation of KeRaiseIrql()/KeLowerIrq()/KeGetCurrentIrql() in favor of a new scheme that uses sleep mutexes. The old scheme was really very naughty and sought to provide the same behavior as Windows spinlocks (i.e. blocking pre-emption) but in a way that wouldn't raise the ire of WITNESS. The new scheme represents 'DISPATCH_LEVEL' as the acquisition of a per-cpu sleep mutex. If a thread on cpu0 acquires the 'dispatcher mutex,' it will block any other thread on the same processor that tries to acquire it, in effect only allowing one thread on the processor to be at 'DISPATCH_LEVEL' at any given time. It can then do the 'atomic sit and spin' routine on the spinlock variable itself. If a thread on cpu1 wants to acquire the same spinlock, it acquires the 'dispatcher mutex' for cpu1 and then it too does an atomic sit and spin to try acquiring the spinlock. Unlike real spinlocks, this does not disable pre-emption of all threads on the CPU, but it does put any threads involved with the NDISulator to sleep, which is just as good for our purposes. This means I can now play nice with WITNESS, and I can safely do things like call malloc() when I'm at 'DISPATCH_LEVEL,' which you're allowed to do in Windows. Next, I completely re-wrote most of the event/timer/mutex handling and wait code. KeWaitForSingleObject() and KeWaitForMultipleObjects() have been re-written to use condition variables instead of msleep(). This allows us to use the Windows convention whereby thread A can tell thread B "wake up with a boosted priority." (With msleep(), you instead have thread B saying "when I get woken up, I'll use this priority here," and thread A can't tell it to do otherwise.) The new KeWaitForMultipleObjects() has been better tested and better duplicates the semantics of its Windows counterpart. I also overhauled the IoQueueWorkItem() API and underlying code. Like KeInsertQueueDpc(), IoQueueWorkItem() must insure that the same work item isn't put on the queue twice. ExQueueWorkItem(), which in my implementation is built on top of IoQueueWorkItem(), was also modified to perform a similar test. I renamed the doubly-linked list macros to give them the same names as their Windows counterparts and fixed RemoveListTail() and RemoveListHead() so they properly return the removed item. I also corrected the list handling code in ntoskrnl_dpc_thread() and ntoskrnl_workitem_thread(). I realized that the original logic did not correctly handle the case where a DPC callout tries to queue up another DPC. It works correctly now. I implemented IoConnectInterrupt() and IoDisconnectInterrupt() and modified NdisMRegisterInterrupt() and NdisMDisconnectInterrupt() to use them. I also tried to duplicate the interrupt handling scheme used in Windows. The interrupt handling is now internal to ndis.ko, and the ndis_intr() function has been removed from if_ndis.c. (In the USB case, interrupt handling isn't needed in if_ndis.c anyway.) NdisMSleep() has been rewritten to use a KeWaitForSingleObject() and a KeTimer, which is how it works in Windows. (This is mainly to insure that the NDISulator uses the KeTimer API so I can spot any problems with it that may arise.) KeCancelTimer() has been changed so that it only cancels timers, and does not attempt to cancel a DPC if the timer managed to fire and queue one up before KeCancelTimer() was called. The Windows DDK documentation seems to imply that KeCantelTimer() will also call KeRemoveQueueDpc() if necessary, but it really doesn't. The KeTimer implementation has been rewritten to use the callout API directly instead of timeout()/untimeout(). I still cheat a little in that I have to manage my own small callout timer wheel, but the timer code works more smoothly now. I discovered a race condition using timeout()/untimeout() with periodic timers where untimeout() fails to actually cancel a timer. I don't quite understand where the race is, using callout_init()/callout_reset()/callout_stop() directly seems to fix it. I also discovered and fixed a bug in winx32_wrap.S related to translating _stdcall calls. There are a couple of routines (i.e. the 64-bit arithmetic intrinsics in subr_ntoskrnl) that return 64-bit quantities. On the x86 arch, 64-bit values are returned in the %eax and %edx registers. However, it happens that the ctxsw_utow() routine uses %edx as a scratch register, and x86_stdcall_wrap() and x86_stdcall_call() were only preserving %eax before branching to ctxsw_utow(). This means %edx was getting clobbered in some cases. Curiously, the most noticeable effect of this bug is that the driver for the TI AXC110 chipset would constantly drop and reacquire its link for no apparent reason. Both %eax and %edx are preserved on the stack now. The _fastcall and _regparm wrappers already handled everything correctly. I changed if_ndis to use IoAllocateWorkItem() and IoQueueWorkItem() instead of the NdisScheduleWorkItem() API. This is to avoid possible deadlocks with any drivers that use NdisScheduleWorkItem() themselves. The unicode/ansi conversion handling code has been cleaned up. The internal routines have been moved to subr_ntoskrnl and the RtlXXX routines have been exported so that subr_ndis can call them. This removes the incestuous relationship between the two modules regarding this code and fixes the implementation so that it honors the 'maxlen' fields correctly. (Previously it was possible for NdisUnicodeStringToAnsiString() to possibly clobber memory it didn't own, which was causing many mysterious crashes in the Marvell 8335 driver.) The registry handling code (NdisOpen/Close/ReadConfiguration()) has been fixed to allocate memory for all the parameters it hands out to callers and delete whem when NdisCloseConfiguration() is called. (Previously, it would secretly use a single static buffer.) I also substantially updated if_ndis so that the source can now be built on FreeBSD 7, 6 and 5 without any changes. On FreeBSD 5, only WEP support is enabled. On FreeBSD 6 and 7, WPA-PSK support is enabled. The original WPA code has been updated to fit in more cleanly with the net80211 API, and to eleminate the use of magic numbers. The ndis_80211_setstate() routine now sets a default authmode of OPEN and initializes the RTS threshold and fragmentation threshold. The WPA routines were changed so that the authentication mode is always set first, followed by the cipher. Some drivers depend on the operations being performed in this order. I also added passthrough ioctls that allow application code to directly call the MiniportSetInformation()/MiniportQueryInformation() methods via ndis_set_info() and ndis_get_info(). The ndis_linksts() routine also caches the last 4 events signalled by the driver via NdisMIndicateStatus(), and they can be queried by an application via a separate ioctl. This is done to allow wpa_supplicant to directly program the various crypto and key management options in the driver, allowing things like WPA2 support to work. Whew.

I estimate it's about %85 done, but I want it under CVS control so I can track subsequent changes. It has been tested with exactly three drivers: the LinkSys LNE100TX v4 driver (Lne100v4.sys), the sample Intel 82559 driver from the Windows DDK (e100bex.sys) and the Broadcom BCM43xx wireless driver (bcmwl5.sys).

Sometimes drivers refer to registry keys that aren't mentioned in foo.inf. If this happens, the NDIS API module creates sysctl nodes for these keys on the fly so you can tweak them. An example usage of the Broadcom wireless driver would be: # sysctl hw.ndis0.EnableAutoConnect=1 # sysctl hw.ndis0.SSID="MY_SSID" # sysctl hw.ndis0.NetworkType=0 (0 for bss, 1 for adhoc) # ifconfig ndis0 <my ipaddr> netmask 0xffffff00 up Things to be done: - get rid of debug messages - add in ndis80211 support - defer transmissions until after a status update with NDIS_STATUS_CONNECTED occurs - Create smarter lookaside list support - Split off if_ndis_pci.c and if_ndis_pccard.c attachments - Make sure PCMCIA support works - Fix ndiscvt to properly parse PCMCIA device IDs from INF files - write ndisapi.9 man page

There are three main parts: sys/compat/ndis: the NDIS compat API, which provides binary compatibility functions for many routines in NDIS.SYS, HAL.dll and ntoskrnl.exe in Windows (these are the three modules that most NDIS miniport drivers use). The compat module also contains a small PE relocator/dynalinker which relocates the Windows .SYS image and then patches in our native routines. sys/dev/if_ndis: the if_ndis driver wrapper. This module makes use of the ndis compat API and can be compiled with a specially prepared binary image file (ndis_driver_data.h) containing the Windows .SYS image and registry key information parsed out of the accompanying .INF file. Once if_ndis.ko is built, it can be loaded and unloaded just like a native FreeBSD kenrel module. usr.sbin/ndiscvt: a special utility that converts foo.sys and foo.inf into an ndis_driver_data.h file that can be compiled into if_ndis.o. Contains an .inf file parser graciously provided by Matt Dodd (and mercilessly hacked upon by me) that strips out device ID info and registry key info from a .INF file and packages it up with a binary image array. The ndiscvt(8) utility also does some manipulation of the segments within the .sys file to make life easier for the kernel loader. (Doing the manipulation here saves the kernel code from having to move things around later, which would waste memory.) ndiscvt is only built for the i386 arch. Only files.i386 has been updated, and none of this is turned on in GENERIC. It should probably work on pc98. I have no idea about amd64 or ia64 at this point. This is still a work in progress. I estimate it's about %85 done, but I want it under CVS control so I can track subsequent changes. It has been tested with exactly three drivers: the LinkSys LNE100TX v4 driver (Lne100v4.sys), the sample Intel 82559 driver from the Windows DDK (e100bex.sys) and the Broadcom BCM43xx wireless driver (bcmwl5.sys). It still needs to have a net80211 stuff added to it. To use it, you would do something like this: # cd /sys/modules/ndis # make; make load # cd /sys/modules/if_ndis # ndiscvt -i /path/to/foo.inf -s /path/to/foo.sys -o ndis_driver_data.h # make; make load # sysctl -a | grep ndis All registry keys are mapped to sysctl nodes. Sometimes drivers refer to registry keys that aren't mentioned in foo.inf. If this happens, the NDIS API module creates sysctl nodes for these keys on the fly so you can tweak them. An example usage of the Broadcom wireless driver would be: # sysctl hw.ndis0.EnableAutoConnect=1 # sysctl hw.ndis0.SSID="MY_SSID" # sysctl hw.ndis0.NetworkType=0 (0 for bss, 1 for adhoc) # ifconfig ndis0 <my ipaddr> netmask 0xffffff00 up Things to be done: - get rid of debug messages - add in ndis80211 support - defer transmissions until after a status update with NDIS_STATUS_CONNECTED occurs - Create smarter lookaside list support - Split off if_ndis_pci.c and if_ndis_pccard.c attachments - Make sure PCMCIA support works - Fix ndiscvt to properly parse PCMCIA device IDs from INF files - write ndisapi.9 man page

This commit makes a big round of updates and fixes many, many things. First and most importantly, I threw out the thread priority-twiddling implementation of KeRaiseIrql()/KeLowerIrq()/KeGetCurrentIrql() in favor of a new scheme that uses sleep mutexes. The old scheme was really very naughty and sought to provide the same behavior as Windows spinlocks (i.e. blocking pre-emption) but in a way that wouldn't raise the ire of WITNESS. The new scheme represents 'DISPATCH_LEVEL' as the acquisition of a per-cpu sleep mutex. If a thread on cpu0 acquires the 'dispatcher mutex,' it will block any other thread on the same processor that tries to acquire it, in effect only allowing one thread on the processor to be at 'DISPATCH_LEVEL' at any given time. It can then do the 'atomic sit and spin' routine on the spinlock variable itself. If a thread on cpu1 wants to acquire the same spinlock, it acquires the 'dispatcher mutex' for cpu1 and then it too does an atomic sit and spin to try acquiring the spinlock. Unlike real spinlocks, this does not disable pre-emption of all threads on the CPU, but it does put any threads involved with the NDISulator to sleep, which is just as good for our purposes. This means I can now play nice with WITNESS, and I can safely do things like call malloc() when I'm at 'DISPATCH_LEVEL,' which you're allowed to do in Windows. Next, I completely re-wrote most of the event/timer/mutex handling and wait code. KeWaitForSingleObject() and KeWaitForMultipleObjects() have been re-written to use condition variables instead of msleep(). This allows us to use the Windows convention whereby thread A can tell thread B "wake up with a boosted priority." (With msleep(), you instead have thread B saying "when I get woken up, I'll use this priority here," and thread A can't tell it to do otherwise.) The new KeWaitForMultipleObjects() has been better tested and better duplicates the semantics of its Windows counterpart. I also overhauled the IoQueueWorkItem() API and underlying code. Like KeInsertQueueDpc(), IoQueueWorkItem() must insure that the same work item isn't put on the queue twice. ExQueueWorkItem(), which in my implementation is built on top of IoQueueWorkItem(), was also modified to perform a similar test. I renamed the doubly-linked list macros to give them the same names as their Windows counterparts and fixed RemoveListTail() and RemoveListHead() so they properly return the removed item. I also corrected the list handling code in ntoskrnl_dpc_thread() and ntoskrnl_workitem_thread(). I realized that the original logic did not correctly handle the case where a DPC callout tries to queue up another DPC. It works correctly now. I implemented IoConnectInterrupt() and IoDisconnectInterrupt() and modified NdisMRegisterInterrupt() and NdisMDisconnectInterrupt() to use them. I also tried to duplicate the interrupt handling scheme used in Windows. The interrupt handling is now internal to ndis.ko, and the ndis_intr() function has been removed from if_ndis.c. (In the USB case, interrupt handling isn't needed in if_ndis.c anyway.) NdisMSleep() has been rewritten to use a KeWaitForSingleObject() and a KeTimer, which is how it works in Windows. (This is mainly to insure that the NDISulator uses the KeTimer API so I can spot any problems with it that may arise.) KeCancelTimer() has been changed so that it only cancels timers, and does not attempt to cancel a DPC if the timer managed to fire and queue one up before KeCancelTimer() was called. The Windows DDK documentation seems to imply that KeCantelTimer() will also call KeRemoveQueueDpc() if necessary, but it really doesn't. The KeTimer implementation has been rewritten to use the callout API directly instead of timeout()/untimeout(). I still cheat a little in that I have to manage my own small callout timer wheel, but the timer code works more smoothly now. I discovered a race condition using timeout()/untimeout() with periodic timers where untimeout() fails to actually cancel a timer. I don't quite understand where the race is, using callout_init()/callout_reset()/callout_stop() directly seems to fix it. I also discovered and fixed a bug in winx32_wrap.S related to translating _stdcall calls. There are a couple of routines (i.e. the 64-bit arithmetic intrinsics in subr_ntoskrnl) that return 64-bit quantities. On the x86 arch, 64-bit values are returned in the %eax and %edx registers. However, it happens that the ctxsw_utow() routine uses %edx as a scratch register, and x86_stdcall_wrap() and x86_stdcall_call() were only preserving %eax before branching to ctxsw_utow(). This means %edx was getting clobbered in some cases. Curiously, the most noticeable effect of this bug is that the driver for the TI AXC110 chipset would constantly drop and reacquire its link for no apparent reason. Both %eax and %edx are preserved on the stack now. The _fastcall and _regparm wrappers already handled everything correctly. I changed if_ndis to use IoAllocateWorkItem() and IoQueueWorkItem() instead of the NdisScheduleWorkItem() API. This is to avoid possible deadlocks with any drivers that use NdisScheduleWorkItem() themselves. The unicode/ansi conversion handling code has been cleaned up. The internal routines have been moved to subr_ntoskrnl and the RtlXXX routines have been exported so that subr_ndis can call them. This removes the incestuous relationship between the two modules regarding this code and fixes the implementation so that it honors the 'maxlen' fields correctly. (Previously it was possible for NdisUnicodeStringToAnsiString() to possibly clobber memory it didn't own, which was causing many mysterious crashes in the Marvell 8335 driver.) The registry handling code (NdisOpen/Close/ReadConfiguration()) has been fixed to allocate memory for all the parameters it hands out to callers and delete whem when NdisCloseConfiguration() is called. (Previously, it would secretly use a single static buffer.) I also substantially updated if_ndis so that the source can now be built on FreeBSD 7, 6 and 5 without any changes. On FreeBSD 5, only WEP support is enabled. On FreeBSD 6 and 7, WPA-PSK support is enabled. The original WPA code has been updated to fit in more cleanly with the net80211 API, and to eleminate the use of magic numbers. The ndis_80211_setstate() routine now sets a default authmode of OPEN and initializes the RTS threshold and fragmentation threshold. The WPA routines were changed so that the authentication mode is always set first, followed by the cipher. Some drivers depend on the operations being performed in this order. I also added passthrough ioctls that allow application code to directly call the MiniportSetInformation()/MiniportQueryInformation() methods via ndis_set_info() and ndis_get_info(). The ndis_linksts() routine also caches the last 4 events signalled by the driver via NdisMIndicateStatus(), and they can be queried by an application via a separate ioctl. This is done to allow wpa_supplicant to directly program the various crypto and key management options in the driver, allowing things like WPA2 support to work. Whew.

Only files.i386 has been updated, and none of this is turned on in GENERIC. It should probably work on pc98. I have no idea about amd64 or ia64 at this point. This is still a work in progress. I estimate it's about %85 done, but I want it under CVS control so I can track subsequent changes. It has been tested with exactly three drivers: the LinkSys LNE100TX v4 driver (Lne100v4.sys), the sample Intel 82559 driver from the Windows DDK (e100bex.sys) and the Broadcom BCM43xx wireless driver (bcmwl5.sys). It still needs to have a net80211 stuff added to it. To use it, you would do something like this: # cd /sys/modules/ndis # make; make load # cd /sys/modules/if_ndis # ndiscvt -i /path/to/foo.inf -s /path/to/foo.sys -o ndis_driver_data.h # make; make load # sysctl -a | grep ndis All registry keys are mapped to sysctl nodes. Sometimes drivers refer to registry keys that aren't mentioned in foo.inf. If this happens, the NDIS API module creates sysctl nodes for these keys on the fly so you can tweak them. An example usage of the Broadcom wireless driver would be: # sysctl hw.ndis0.EnableAutoConnect=1 # sysctl hw.ndis0.SSID="MY_SSID" # sysctl hw.ndis0.NetworkType=0 (0 for bss, 1 for adhoc) # ifconfig ndis0 <my ipaddr> netmask 0xffffff00 up Things to be done: - get rid of debug messages - add in ndis80211 support - defer transmissions until after a status update with NDIS_STATUS_CONNECTED occurs - Create smarter lookaside list support - Split off if_ndis_pci.c and if_ndis_pccard.c attachments - Make sure PCMCIA support works - Fix ndiscvt to properly parse PCMCIA device IDs from INF files - write ndisapi.9 man page

This commit makes a big round of updates and fixes many, many things. First and most importantly, I threw out the thread priority-twiddling implementation of KeRaiseIrql()/KeLowerIrq()/KeGetCurrentIrql() in favor of a new scheme that uses sleep mutexes. The old scheme was really very naughty and sought to provide the same behavior as Windows spinlocks (i.e. blocking pre-emption) but in a way that wouldn't raise the ire of WITNESS. The new scheme represents 'DISPATCH_LEVEL' as the acquisition of a per-cpu sleep mutex. If a thread on cpu0 acquires the 'dispatcher mutex,' it will block any other thread on the same processor that tries to acquire it, in effect only allowing one thread on the processor to be at 'DISPATCH_LEVEL' at any given time. It can then do the 'atomic sit and spin' routine on the spinlock variable itself. If a thread on cpu1 wants to acquire the same spinlock, it acquires the 'dispatcher mutex' for cpu1 and then it too does an atomic sit and spin to try acquiring the spinlock. Unlike real spinlocks, this does not disable pre-emption of all threads on the CPU, but it does put any threads involved with the NDISulator to sleep, which is just as good for our purposes. This means I can now play nice with WITNESS, and I can safely do things like call malloc() when I'm at 'DISPATCH_LEVEL,' which you're allowed to do in Windows. Next, I completely re-wrote most of the event/timer/mutex handling and wait code. KeWaitForSingleObject() and KeWaitForMultipleObjects() have been re-written to use condition variables instead of msleep(). This allows us to use the Windows convention whereby thread A can tell thread B "wake up with a boosted priority." (With msleep(), you instead have thread B saying "when I get woken up, I'll use this priority here," and thread A can't tell it to do otherwise.) The new KeWaitForMultipleObjects() has been better tested and better duplicates the semantics of its Windows counterpart. I also overhauled the IoQueueWorkItem() API and underlying code. Like KeInsertQueueDpc(), IoQueueWorkItem() must insure that the same work item isn't put on the queue twice. ExQueueWorkItem(), which in my implementation is built on top of IoQueueWorkItem(), was also modified to perform a similar test. I renamed the doubly-linked list macros to give them the same names as their Windows counterparts and fixed RemoveListTail() and RemoveListHead() so they properly return the removed item. I also corrected the list handling code in ntoskrnl_dpc_thread() and ntoskrnl_workitem_thread(). I realized that the original logic did not correctly handle the case where a DPC callout tries to queue up another DPC. It works correctly now. I implemented IoConnectInterrupt() and IoDisconnectInterrupt() and modified NdisMRegisterInterrupt() and NdisMDisconnectInterrupt() to use them. I also tried to duplicate the interrupt handling scheme used in Windows. The interrupt handling is now internal to ndis.ko, and the ndis_intr() function has been removed from if_ndis.c. (In the USB case, interrupt handling isn't needed in if_ndis.c anyway.) NdisMSleep() has been rewritten to use a KeWaitForSingleObject() and a KeTimer, which is how it works in Windows. (This is mainly to insure that the NDISulator uses the KeTimer API so I can spot any problems with it that may arise.) KeCancelTimer() has been changed so that it only cancels timers, and does not attempt to cancel a DPC if the timer managed to fire and queue one up before KeCancelTimer() was called. The Windows DDK documentation seems to imply that KeCantelTimer() will also call KeRemoveQueueDpc() if necessary, but it really doesn't. The KeTimer implementation has been rewritten to use the callout API directly instead of timeout()/untimeout(). I still cheat a little in that I have to manage my own small callout timer wheel, but the timer code works more smoothly now. I discovered a race condition using timeout()/untimeout() with periodic timers where untimeout() fails to actually cancel a timer. I don't quite understand where the race is, using callout_init()/callout_reset()/callout_stop() directly seems to fix it. I also discovered and fixed a bug in winx32_wrap.S related to translating _stdcall calls. There are a couple of routines (i.e. the 64-bit arithmetic intrinsics in subr_ntoskrnl) that return 64-bit quantities. On the x86 arch, 64-bit values are returned in the %eax and %edx registers. However, it happens that the ctxsw_utow() routine uses %edx as a scratch register, and x86_stdcall_wrap() and x86_stdcall_call() were only preserving %eax before branching to ctxsw_utow(). This means %edx was getting clobbered in some cases. Curiously, the most noticeable effect of this bug is that the driver for the TI AXC110 chipset would constantly drop and reacquire its link for no apparent reason. Both %eax and %edx are preserved on the stack now. The _fastcall and _regparm wrappers already handled everything correctly. I changed if_ndis to use IoAllocateWorkItem() and IoQueueWorkItem() instead of the NdisScheduleWorkItem() API. This is to avoid possible deadlocks with any drivers that use NdisScheduleWorkItem() themselves. The unicode/ansi conversion handling code has been cleaned up. The internal routines have been moved to subr_ntoskrnl and the RtlXXX routines have been exported so that subr_ndis can call them. This removes the incestuous relationship between the two modules regarding this code and fixes the implementation so that it honors the 'maxlen' fields correctly. (Previously it was possible for NdisUnicodeStringToAnsiString() to possibly clobber memory it didn't own, which was causing many mysterious crashes in the Marvell 8335 driver.) The registry handling code (NdisOpen/Close/ReadConfiguration()) has been fixed to allocate memory for all the parameters it hands out to callers and delete whem when NdisCloseConfiguration() is called. (Previously, it would secretly use a single static buffer.) I also substantially updated if_ndis so that the source can now be built on FreeBSD 7, 6 and 5 without any changes. On FreeBSD 5, only WEP support is enabled. On FreeBSD 6 and 7, WPA-PSK support is enabled. The original WPA code has been updated to fit in more cleanly with the net80211 API, and to eleminate the use of magic numbers. The ndis_80211_setstate() routine now sets a default authmode of OPEN and initializes the RTS threshold and fragmentation threshold. The WPA routines were changed so that the authentication mode is always set first, followed by the cipher. Some drivers depend on the operations being performed in this order. I also added passthrough ioctls that allow application code to directly call the MiniportSetInformation()/MiniportQueryInformation() methods via ndis_set_info() and ndis_get_info(). The ndis_linksts() routine also caches the last 4 events signalled by the driver via NdisMIndicateStatus(), and they can be queried by an application via a separate ioctl. This is done to allow wpa_supplicant to directly program the various crypto and key management options in the driver, allowing things like WPA2 support to work. Whew.

The old scheme was really very naughty and sought to provide the same behavior as Windows spinlocks (i.e. blocking pre-emption) but in a way that wouldn't raise the ire of WITNESS. The new scheme represents 'DISPATCH_LEVEL' as the acquisition of a per-cpu sleep mutex. If a thread on cpu0 acquires the 'dispatcher mutex,' it will block any other thread on the same processor that tries to acquire it, in effect only allowing one thread on the processor to be at 'DISPATCH_LEVEL' at any given time. It can then do the 'atomic sit and spin' routine on the spinlock variable itself. If a thread on cpu1 wants to acquire the same spinlock, it acquires the 'dispatcher mutex' for cpu1 and then it too does an atomic sit and spin to try acquiring the spinlock. Unlike real spinlocks, this does not disable pre-emption of all threads on the CPU, but it does put any threads involved with the NDISulator to sleep, which is just as good for our purposes. This means I can now play nice with WITNESS, and I can safely do things like call malloc() when I'm at 'DISPATCH_LEVEL,' which you're allowed to do in Windows. Next, I completely re-wrote most of the event/timer/mutex handling and wait code. KeWaitForSingleObject() and KeWaitForMultipleObjects() have been re-written to use condition variables instead of msleep(). This allows us to use the Windows convention whereby thread A can tell thread B "wake up with a boosted priority." (With msleep(), you instead have thread B saying "when I get woken up, I'll use this priority here," and thread A can't tell it to do otherwise.) The new KeWaitForMultipleObjects() has been better tested and better duplicates the semantics of its Windows counterpart. I also overhauled the IoQueueWorkItem() API and underlying code.

To use it, you would do something like this: # cd /sys/modules/ndis # make; make load # cd /sys/modules/if_ndis # ndiscvt -i /path/to/foo.inf -s /path/to/foo.sys -o ndis_driver_data.h # make; make load # sysctl -a | grep ndis All registry keys are mapped to sysctl nodes. Sometimes drivers refer to registry keys that aren't mentioned in foo.inf. If this happens, the NDIS API module creates sysctl nodes for these keys on the fly so you can tweak them. An example usage of the Broadcom wireless driver would be: # sysctl hw.ndis0.EnableAutoConnect=1 # sysctl hw.ndis0.SSID="MY_SSID" # sysctl hw.ndis0.NetworkType=0 (0 for bss, 1 for adhoc) # ifconfig ndis0 <my ipaddr> netmask 0xffffff00 up Things to be done: - get rid of debug messages - add in ndis80211 support - defer transmissions until after a status update with NDIS_STATUS_CONNECTED occurs - Create smarter lookaside list support - Split off if_ndis_pci.c and if_ndis_pccard.c attachments - Make sure PCMCIA support works - Fix ndiscvt to properly parse PCMCIA device IDs from INF files - write ndisapi.9 man page

This commit makes a big round of updates and fixes many, many things. First and most importantly, I threw out the thread priority-twiddling implementation of KeRaiseIrql()/KeLowerIrq()/KeGetCurrentIrql() in favor of a new scheme that uses sleep mutexes. The old scheme was really very naughty and sought to provide the same behavior as Windows spinlocks (i.e. blocking pre-emption) but in a way that wouldn't raise the ire of WITNESS. The new scheme represents 'DISPATCH_LEVEL' as the acquisition of a per-cpu sleep mutex. If a thread on cpu0 acquires the 'dispatcher mutex,' it will block any other thread on the same processor that tries to acquire it, in effect only allowing one thread on the processor to be at 'DISPATCH_LEVEL' at any given time. It can then do the 'atomic sit and spin' routine on the spinlock variable itself. If a thread on cpu1 wants to acquire the same spinlock, it acquires the 'dispatcher mutex' for cpu1 and then it too does an atomic sit and spin to try acquiring the spinlock. Unlike real spinlocks, this does not disable pre-emption of all threads on the CPU, but it does put any threads involved with the NDISulator to sleep, which is just as good for our purposes. This means I can now play nice with WITNESS, and I can safely do things like call malloc() when I'm at 'DISPATCH_LEVEL,' which you're allowed to do in Windows. Next, I completely re-wrote most of the event/timer/mutex handling and wait code. KeWaitForSingleObject() and KeWaitForMultipleObjects() have been re-written to use condition variables instead of msleep(). This allows us to use the Windows convention whereby thread A can tell thread B "wake up with a boosted priority." (With msleep(), you instead have thread B saying "when I get woken up, I'll use this priority here," and thread A can't tell it to do otherwise.) The new KeWaitForMultipleObjects() has been better tested and better duplicates the semantics of its Windows counterpart. I also overhauled the IoQueueWorkItem() API and underlying code. Like KeInsertQueueDpc(), IoQueueWorkItem() must insure that the same work item isn't put on the queue twice. ExQueueWorkItem(), which in my implementation is built on top of IoQueueWorkItem(), was also modified to perform a similar test. I renamed the doubly-linked list macros to give them the same names as their Windows counterparts and fixed RemoveListTail() and RemoveListHead() so they properly return the removed item. I also corrected the list handling code in ntoskrnl_dpc_thread() and ntoskrnl_workitem_thread(). I realized that the original logic did not correctly handle the case where a DPC callout tries to queue up another DPC. It works correctly now. I implemented IoConnectInterrupt() and IoDisconnectInterrupt() and modified NdisMRegisterInterrupt() and NdisMDisconnectInterrupt() to use them. I also tried to duplicate the interrupt handling scheme used in Windows. The interrupt handling is now internal to ndis.ko, and the ndis_intr() function has been removed from if_ndis.c. (In the USB case, interrupt handling isn't needed in if_ndis.c anyway.) NdisMSleep() has been rewritten to use a KeWaitForSingleObject() and a KeTimer, which is how it works in Windows. (This is mainly to insure that the NDISulator uses the KeTimer API so I can spot any problems with it that may arise.) KeCancelTimer() has been changed so that it only cancels timers, and does not attempt to cancel a DPC if the timer managed to fire and queue one up before KeCancelTimer() was called. The Windows DDK documentation seems to imply that KeCantelTimer() will also call KeRemoveQueueDpc() if necessary, but it really doesn't. The KeTimer implementation has been rewritten to use the callout API directly instead of timeout()/untimeout(). I still cheat a little in that I have to manage my own small callout timer wheel, but the timer code works more smoothly now. I discovered a race condition using timeout()/untimeout() with periodic timers where untimeout() fails to actually cancel a timer. I don't quite understand where the race is, using callout_init()/callout_reset()/callout_stop() directly seems to fix it. I also discovered and fixed a bug in winx32_wrap.S related to translating _stdcall calls. There are a couple of routines (i.e. the 64-bit arithmetic intrinsics in subr_ntoskrnl) that return 64-bit quantities. On the x86 arch, 64-bit values are returned in the %eax and %edx registers. However, it happens that the ctxsw_utow() routine uses %edx as a scratch register, and x86_stdcall_wrap() and x86_stdcall_call() were only preserving %eax before branching to ctxsw_utow(). This means %edx was getting clobbered in some cases. Curiously, the most noticeable effect of this bug is that the driver for the TI AXC110 chipset would constantly drop and reacquire its link for no apparent reason. Both %eax and %edx are preserved on the stack now. The _fastcall and _regparm wrappers already handled everything correctly. I changed if_ndis to use IoAllocateWorkItem() and IoQueueWorkItem() instead of the NdisScheduleWorkItem() API. This is to avoid possible deadlocks with any drivers that use NdisScheduleWorkItem() themselves. The unicode/ansi conversion handling code has been cleaned up. The internal routines have been moved to subr_ntoskrnl and the RtlXXX routines have been exported so that subr_ndis can call them. This removes the incestuous relationship between the two modules regarding this code and fixes the implementation so that it honors the 'maxlen' fields correctly. (Previously it was possible for NdisUnicodeStringToAnsiString() to possibly clobber memory it didn't own, which was causing many mysterious crashes in the Marvell 8335 driver.) The registry handling code (NdisOpen/Close/ReadConfiguration()) has been fixed to allocate memory for all the parameters it hands out to callers and delete whem when NdisCloseConfiguration() is called. (Previously, it would secretly use a single static buffer.) I also substantially updated if_ndis so that the source can now be built on FreeBSD 7, 6 and 5 without any changes. On FreeBSD 5, only WEP support is enabled. On FreeBSD 6 and 7, WPA-PSK support is enabled. The original WPA code has been updated to fit in more cleanly with the net80211 API, and to eleminate the use of magic numbers. The ndis_80211_setstate() routine now sets a default authmode of OPEN and initializes the RTS threshold and fragmentation threshold. The WPA routines were changed so that the authentication mode is always set first, followed by the cipher. Some drivers depend on the operations being performed in this order. I also added passthrough ioctls that allow application code to directly call the MiniportSetInformation()/MiniportQueryInformation() methods via ndis_set_info() and ndis_get_info(). The ndis_linksts() routine also caches the last 4 events signalled by the driver via NdisMIndicateStatus(), and they can be queried by an application via a separate ioctl. This is done to allow wpa_supplicant to directly program the various crypto and key management options in the driver, allowing things like WPA2 support to work. Whew.

Commit the first cut of Project Evil, also known as the NDISulator. Yes, it's what you think it is. Yes, you should run away now. This is a special compatibility module for allowing Windows NDIS miniport network drivers to be used with FreeBSD/x86. This provides _binary_ NDIS compatibility (not source): you can run NDIS driver code, but you can't build it. There are three main parts: sys/compat/ndis: the NDIS compat API, which provides binary compatibility functions for many routines in NDIS.SYS, HAL.dll and ntoskrnl.exe in Windows (these are the three modules that most NDIS miniport drivers use). The compat module also contains a small PE relocator/dynalinker which relocates the Windows .SYS image and then patches in our native routines. sys/dev/if_ndis: the if_ndis driver wrapper. This module makes use of the ndis compat API and can be compiled with a specially prepared binary image file (ndis_driver_data.h) containing the Windows .SYS image and registry key information parsed out of the accompanying .INF file. Once if_ndis.ko is built, it can be loaded and unloaded just like a native FreeBSD kenrel module. usr.sbin/ndiscvt: a special utility that converts foo.sys and foo.inf into an ndis_driver_data.h file that can be compiled into if_ndis.o. Contains an .inf file parser graciously provided by Matt Dodd (and mercilessly hacked upon by me) that strips out device ID info and registry key info from a .INF file and packages it up with a binary image array. The ndiscvt(8) utility also does some manipulation of the segments within the .sys file to make life easier for the kernel loader. (Doing the manipulation here saves the kernel code from having to move things around later, which would waste memory.) ndiscvt is only built for the i386 arch. Only files.i386 has been updated, and none of this is turned on in GENERIC. It should probably work on pc98. I have no idea about amd64 or ia64 at this point. This is still a work in progress. I estimate it's about %85 done, but I want it under CVS control so I can track subsequent changes. It has been tested with exactly three drivers: the LinkSys LNE100TX v4 driver (Lne100v4.sys), the sample Intel 82559 driver from the Windows DDK (e100bex.sys) and the Broadcom BCM43xx wireless driver (bcmwl5.sys).

Once if_ndis.ko is built, it can be loaded and unloaded just like a native FreeBSD kenrel module. usr.sbin/ndiscvt: a special utility that converts foo.sys and foo.inf into an ndis_driver_data.h file that can be compiled into if_ndis.o. Contains an .inf file parser graciously provided by Matt Dodd (and mercilessly hacked upon by me) that strips out device ID info and registry key info from a .INF file and packages it up with a binary image array. The ndiscvt(8) utility also does some manipulation of the segments within the .sys file to make life easier for the kernel loader. (Doing the manipulation here saves the kernel code from having to move things around later, which would waste memory.) ndiscvt is only built for the i386 arch.

It still needs to have a net80211 stuff added to it. To use it, you would do something like this: # cd /sys/modules/ndis # make; make load # cd /sys/modules/if_ndis # ndiscvt -i /path/to/foo.inf -s /path/to/foo.sys -o ndis_driver_data.h # make; make load # sysctl -a | grep ndis All registry keys are mapped to sysctl nodes. Sometimes drivers refer to registry keys that aren't mentioned in foo.inf. If this happens, the NDIS API module creates sysctl nodes for these keys on the fly so you can tweak them.

Create new i386 windows/bsd thunking layer, similar to the amd64 thunking layer, but with a twist. The twist has to do with the fact that Microsoft supports structured exception handling in kernel mode. On the i386 arch, exception handling is implemented by hanging an exception registration list off the Thread Environment Block (TEB), and the TEB is accessed via the %fs register. The problem is, we use %fs as a pointer to the pcpu stucture, which means any driver that tries to write through %fs:0 will overwrite the curthread pointer and make a serious mess of things. To get around this, Project Evil now creates a special entry in the GDT on each processor. When we call into Windows code, a context switch routine will fix up %fs so it points to our new descriptor, which in turn points to a fake TEB. When the Windows code returns, or calls out to an external routine, we swap %fs back again. Currently, Project Evil makes use of GDT slot 7, which is all 0s by default. I fully expect someone to jump up and say I can't do that, but I couldn't find any code that makes use of this entry anywhere. Sadly, this was the only method I could come up with that worked on both UP and SMP. (Modifying the LDT works on UP, but becomes incredibly complicated on SMP.) If necessary, the context switching stuff can be yanked out while preserving the convention calling wrappers. (Fortunately, it looks like Microsoft uses some special epilog/prolog code on amd64 to implement exception handling, so the same nastiness won't be necessary on that arch.) The advantages are: - Any driver that uses %fs as though it were a TEB pointer won't clobber pcpu. - All the __stdcall/__fastcall/__regparm stuff that's specific to gcc goes away. Also, while I'm here, switch NdisGetSystemUpTime() back to using nanouptime() again. It turns out nanouptime() is way more accurate than just using ticks(). On slower machines, the Atheros drivers I tested seem to take a long time to associate due to the loss in accuracy.

Continue my efforts to imitate Windows as closely as possible by attempting to duplicate Windows spinlocks. Windows spinlocks differ from FreeBSD spinlocks in the way they block preemption. FreeBSD spinlocks use critical_enter(), which masks off _all_ interrupts. This prevents any other threads from being scheduled, but it also prevents ISRs from running. In Windows, preemption is achieved by raising the processor IRQL to DISPATCH_LEVEL, which prevents other threads from preempting you, but does _not_ prevent device ISRs from running. (This is essentially what Solaris calls dispatcher locks.) The Windows spinlock itself (kspin_lock) is just an integer value which is atomically set when you acquire the lock and atomically cleared when you release it. FreeBSD doesn't have IRQ levels, so we have to cheat a little by using thread priorities: normal thread priority is PASSIVE_LEVEL, lowest interrupt thread priority is DISPATCH_LEVEL, highest thread priority is DEVICE_LEVEL (PI_REALTIME) and critical_enter() is HIGH_LEVEL. In practice, only PASSIVE_LEVEL and DISPATCH_LEVEL matter to us. The immediate benefit of all this is that I no longer have to rely on a mutex pool. Now, I'm sure many people will be seized by the urge to criticize me for doing an end run around our own spinlock implementation, but it makes more sense to do it this way. Well, it does to me anyway. Overview of the changes: - Properly implement hal_lock(), hal_unlock(), hal_irql(), hal_raise_irql() and hal_lower_irql() so that they more closely resemble their Windows counterparts. The IRQL is determined by thread priority. - Make ntoskrnl_lock_dpc() and ntoskrnl_unlock_dpc() do what they do in Windows, which is to atomically set/clear the lock value. These routines are designed to be called from DISPATCH_LEVEL, and are actually half of the work involved in acquiring/releasing spinlocks. - Add FASTCALL1(), FASTCALL2() and FASTCALL3() macros/wrappers that allow us to call a _fastcall function in spite of the fact that our version of gcc doesn't support __attribute__((__fastcall__)) yet. The macros take 1, 2 or 3 arguments, respectively. We need to call hal_lock(), hal_unlock() etc... ourselves, but can't really invoke the function directly. I could have just made the underlying functions native routines and put _fastcall wrappers around them for the benefit of Windows binaries, but that would create needless bloat. - Remove ndis_mtxpool and all references to it. We don't need it anymore. - Re-implement the NdisSpinLock routines so that they use hal_lock() and friends like they do in Windows. - Use the new spinlock methods for handling lookaside lists and linked list updates in place of the mutex locks that were there before. - Remove mutex locking from ndis_isr() and ndis_intrhand() since they're already called with ndis_intrmtx held in if_ndis.c. - Put ndis_destroy_lock() code under explicit #ifdef notdef/#endif. It turns out there are some drivers which stupidly free the memory in which their spinlocks reside before calling ndis_destroy_lock() on them (touch-after-free bug). The ADMtek wireless driver is guilty of this faux pas. (Why this doesn't clobber Windows I have no idea.) - Make NdisDprAcquireSpinLock() and NdisDprReleaseSpinLock() into real functions instead of aliasing them to NdisAcaquireSpinLock() and NdisReleaseSpinLock(). The Dpr routines use KeAcquireSpinLockAtDpcLevel() level and KeReleaseSpinLockFromDpcLevel(), which acquires the lock without twiddling the IRQL. - In ndis_linksts_done(), do _not_ call ndis_80211_getstate(). Some drivers may call the status/status done callbacks as the result of setting an OID: ndis_80211_getstate() gets OIDs, which means we might cause the driver to recursively access some of its internal structures unexpectedly. The ndis_ticktask() routine will call ndis_80211_getstate() for us eventually anyway. - Fix the channel setting code a little in ndis_80211_setstate(), and initialize the channel to IEEE80211_CHAN_ANYC. (The Microsoft spec says you're not supposed to twiddle the channel in BSS mode; I may need to enforce this later.) This fixes the problems I was having with the ADMtek adm8211 driver: we were setting the channel to a non-standard default, which would cause it to fail to associate in BSS mode. - Use hal_raise_irql() to raise our IRQL to DISPATCH_LEVEL when calling certain miniport routines, per the Microsoft documentation. I think that's everything. Hopefully, other than fixing the ADMtek driver, there should be no apparent change in behavior.

The new approach is to multiplex all the NDIS interrupts through a common internal dispatcher (ntoskrnl_intr()) and allow IoConnectInterrupt()/IoDisconnectInterrupt() to add or remove interrupts from the dispatch list. - Implement KeAcquireInterruptSpinLock() and KeReleaseInterruptSpinLock(). - Change the DPC and workitem threads to use the KeXXXSpinLock API instead of mtx_lock_spin()/mtx_unlock_spin(). - Simplify the NdisXXXPacket routines by creating an actual packet pool structure and using the InterlockedSList routines to manage the packet queue. - Only honor the value returned by OID_GEN_MAXIMUM_SEND_PACKETS for serialized drivers. For deserialized drivers, we now create a packet array of 64 entries. (The Microsoft DDK documentation says that for deserialized miniports, OID_GEN_MAXIMUM_SEND_PACKETS is ignored, and the driver for the Marvell 8335 chip, which is a deserialized miniport, returns 1 when queried.) - Clean up timer handling in subr_ntoskrnl. - Add the following conditional debugging code: NTOSKRNL_DEBUG_TIMERS - add debugging and stats for timers NDIS_DEBUG_PACKETS - add extra sanity checking for NdisXXXPacket API NTOSKRNL_DEBUG_SPINLOCKS - add test for spinning too long - In kern_ndis.c, always start the HAL first and shut it down last, since Windows spinlocks depend on it.

Finally bring an end to the great "make the Atheros NDIS driver work on SMP" saga. After several weeks and much gnashing of teeth, I have finally tracked down all the problems, despite their best efforts to confound and annoy me. Problem nunmber one: the Atheros windows driver is _NOT_ a de-serialized miniport! It used to be that NDIS drivers relied on the NDIS library itself for all their locking and serialization needs. Transmit packet queues were all handled internally by NDIS, and all calls to MiniportXXX() routines were guaranteed to be appropriately serialized. This proved to be a performance problem however, and Microsoft introduced de-serialized miniports with the NDIS 5.x spec. Microsoft still supports serialized miniports, but recommends that all new drivers written for Windows XP and later be deserialized. Apparently Atheros wasn't listening when they said this. This means (among other things) that we have to serialize calls to MiniportSendPackets(). We also have to serialize calls to MiniportTimer() that are triggered via the NdisMInitializeTimer() routine. It finally dawned on me why NdisMInitializeTimer() takes a special NDIS_MINIPORT_TIMER structure and a pointer to the miniport block: the timer callback must be serialized, and it's only by saving the miniport block handle that we can get access to the serialization lock during the timer callback. Problem number two: haunted hardware. The thing that was _really_ driving me absolutely bonkers for the longest time is that, for some reason I couldn't understand, my test machine would occasionally freeze or more frustratingly, reset completely. That's reset and in *pow!* back to the BIOS startup. No panic, no crashdump, just a reset. This appeared to happen most often when MiniportReset() was called. (As to why MiniportReset() was being called, see problem three below.) I thought maybe I had created some sort of horrible deadlock condition in the process of adding the serialization, but after three weeks, at least 6 different locking implementations and heroic efforts to debug the spinlock code, the machine still kept resetting. Finally, I started single stepping through the MiniportReset() routine in the driver using the kernel debugger, and this ultimately led me to the source of the problem. One of the last things the Atheros MiniportReset() routine does is call NdisReadPciSlotInformation() several times to inspect a portion of the device's PCI config space. It reads the same chunk of config space repeatedly, in rapid succession. Presumeably, it's polling the hardware for some sort of event. The reset occurs partway through this process. I discovered that when I single-stepped through this portion of the routine, the reset didn't occur. So I inserted a 1 microsecond delay into the read loop in NdisReadPciSlotInformation(). Suddenly, the reset was gone!! I'm still very puzzled by the whole thing. What I suspect is happening is that reading the PCI config space so quickly is causing a severe PCI bus error. My test system is a Sun w2100z dual Opteron system, and the NIC is a miniPCI card mounted in a miniPCI-to-PCI carrier card, plugged into a 100Mhz PCI slot. It's possible that this combination of hardware causes a bus protocol violation in this scenario which leads to a fatal machine check. This is pure speculation though. Really all I know for sure is that inserting the delay makes the problem go away. (To quote Homer Simpson: "I don't know how it works, but fire makes it good!") Problem number three: NdisAllocatePacket() needs to make sure to initialize the npp_validcounts field in the 'private' section of the NDIS_PACKET structure. The reason if_ndis was calling the MiniportReset() routine in the first place is that packet transmits were sometimes hanging. When sending a packet, an NDIS driver will call NdisQueryPacket() to learn how many physical buffers the packet resides in. NdisQueryPacket() is actually a macro, which traverses the NDIS_BUFFER list attached to the NDIS_PACKET and stashes some of the results in the 'private' section of the NDIS_PACKET. It also sets the npp_validcounts field to TRUE To indicate that the results are now valid. The problem is, now that if_ndis creates a pool of transmit packets via NdisAllocatePacketPool(), it's important that each time a new packet is allocated via NdisAllocatePacket() that validcounts be initialized to FALSE. If it isn't, and a previously transmitted NDIS_PACKET is pulled out of the pool, it may contain stale data from a previous transmission which won't get updated by NdisQueryPacket(). This would cause the driver to miscompute the number of fragments for a given packet, and botch the transmission. Fixing these three problems seems to make the Atheros driver happy on SMP, which hopefully means other serialized miniports will be happy too. And there was much rejoicing. Other stuff fixed along the way: - Modified ndis_thsuspend() to take a mutex as an argument. This allows KeWaitForSingleObject() and KeWaitForMultipleObjects() to avoid any possible race conditions with other routines that use the dispatcher lock. - Fixed KeCancelTimer() so that it returns the correct value for 'pending' according to the Microsoft documentation - Modfied NdisGetSystemUpTime() to use ticks and hz rather than calling nanouptime(). Also added comment that this routine wraps after 49.7 days. - Added macros for KeAcquireSpinLock()/KeReleaseSpinLock() to hide all the MSCALL() goop. - For x86, KeAcquireSpinLockRaiseToDpc() needs to be a separate function. This is because it's supposed to be _stdcall on the x86 arch, whereas KeAcquireSpinLock() is supposed to be _fastcall. On amd64, all routines use the same calling convention so we can just map KeAcquireSpinLockRaiseToDpc() directly to KfAcquireSpinLock() and it will work. (The _fastcall attribute is a no-op on amd64.) - Implement and use IoInitializeDpcRequest() and IoRequestDpc() (they're just macros) and use them for interrupt handling. This allows us to move the ndis_intrtask() routine from if_ndis.c to kern_ndis.c. - Fix the MmInitializeMdl() macro so that is uses sizeof(vm_offset_t) when computing mdl_size instead of uint32_t, so that it matches the MmSizeOfMdl() routine. - Change a could of M_WAITOKs to M_NOWAITs in the unicode routines in subr_ndis.c. - Use the dispatcher lock a little more consistently in subr_ntoskrnl.c. - Get rid of the "wait for link event" hack in ndis_init(). Now that I fixed NdisReadPciSlotInformation(), it seems I don't need it anymore. This should fix the witness panic a couple of people have reported. - Use MSCALL1() when calling the MiniportHangCheck() function in ndis_ticktask(). I accidentally missed this one when adding the wrapping for amd64.

Another round of cleanups and fixes: - Change ndis_return() from a DPC to a workitem so that it doesn't run at DISPATCH_LEVEL (with the dispatcher lock held). - In if_ndis.c, submit packets to the stack via (*ifp->if_input)() in a workitem instead of doing it directly in ndis_rxeof(), because ndis_rxeof() runs in a DPC, and hence at DISPATCH_LEVEL. This implies that the 'dispatch level' mutex for the current CPU is being held, and we don't want to call if_input while holding any locks. - Reimplement IoConnectInterrupt()/IoDisconnectInterrupt(). The original approach I used to track down the interrupt resource (by scanning the device tree starting at the nexus) is prone to problems when two devices share an interrupt. (E.g removing ndis1 might disable interrupts for ndis0.) The new approach is to multiplex all the NDIS interrupts through a common internal dispatcher (ntoskrnl_intr()) and allow IoConnectInterrupt()/IoDisconnectInterrupt() to add or remove interrupts from the dispatch list. - Implement KeAcquireInterruptSpinLock() and KeReleaseInterruptSpinLock(). - Change the DPC and workitem threads to use the KeXXXSpinLock API instead of mtx_lock_spin()/mtx_unlock_spin(). - Simplify the NdisXXXPacket routines by creating an actual packet pool structure and using the InterlockedSList routines to manage the packet queue. - Only honor the value returned by OID_GEN_MAXIMUM_SEND_PACKETS for serialized drivers.

(The Microsoft DDK documentation says that for deserialized miniports, OID_GEN_MAXIMUM_SEND_PACKETS is ignored, and the driver for the Marvell 8335 chip, which is a deserialized miniport, returns 1 when queried.) - Clean up timer handling in subr_ntoskrnl. - Add the following conditional debugging code: NTOSKRNL_DEBUG_TIMERS - add debugging and stats for timers NDIS_DEBUG_PACKETS - add extra sanity checking for NdisXXXPacket API NTOSKRNL_DEBUG_SPINLOCKS - add test for spinning too long - In kern_ndis.c, always start the HAL first and shut it down last, since Windows spinlocks depend on it. Ntoskrnl should similarly be started second and shut down next to last.

Commit the first cut of Project Evil, also known as the NDISulator. Yes, it's what you think it is. Yes, you should run away now. This is a special compatibility module for allowing Windows NDIS miniport network drivers to be used with FreeBSD/x86. This provides _binary_ NDIS compatibility (not source): you can run NDIS driver code, but you can't build it. There are three main parts: sys/compat/ndis: the NDIS compat API, which provides binary compatibility functions for many routines in NDIS.SYS, HAL.dll and ntoskrnl.exe in Windows (these are the three modules that most NDIS miniport drivers use). The compat module also contains a small PE relocator/dynalinker which relocates the Windows .SYS image and then patches in our native routines. sys/dev/if_ndis: the if_ndis driver wrapper. This module makes use of the ndis compat API and can be compiled with a specially prepared binary image file (ndis_driver_data.h) containing the Windows .SYS image and registry key information parsed out of the accompanying .INF file. Once if_ndis.ko is built, it can be loaded and unloaded just like a native FreeBSD kenrel module. usr.sbin/ndiscvt: a special utility that converts foo.sys and foo.inf into an ndis_driver_data.h file that can be compiled into if_ndis.o. Contains an .inf file parser graciously provided by Matt Dodd (and mercilessly hacked upon by me) that strips out device ID info and registry key info from a .INF file and packages it up with a binary image array. The ndiscvt(8) utility also does some manipulation of the segments within the .sys file to make life easier for the kernel loader. (Doing the manipulation here saves the kernel code from having to move things around later, which would waste memory.) ndiscvt is only built for the i386 arch. Only files.i386 has been updated, and none of this is turned on in GENERIC. It should probably work on pc98. I have no idea about amd64 or ia64 at this point. This is still a work in progress. I estimate it's about %85 done, but I want it under CVS control so I can track subsequent changes. It has been tested with exactly three drivers: the LinkSys LNE100TX v4 driver (Lne100v4.sys), the sample Intel 82559 driver from the Windows DDK (e100bex.sys) and the Broadcom BCM43xx wireless driver (bcmwl5.sys). It still needs to have a net80211 stuff added to it. To use it, you would do something like this: # cd /sys/modules/ndis # make; make load # cd /sys/modules/if_ndis # ndiscvt -i /path/to/foo.inf -s /path/to/foo.sys -o ndis_driver_data.h # make; make load # sysctl -a | grep ndis All registry keys are mapped to sysctl nodes. Sometimes drivers refer to registry keys that aren't mentioned in foo.inf. If this happens, the NDIS API module creates sysctl nodes for these keys on the fly so you can tweak them. An example usage of the Broadcom wireless driver would be: # sysctl hw.ndis0.EnableAutoConnect=1 # sysctl hw.ndis0.SSID="MY_SSID" # sysctl hw.ndis0.NetworkType=0 (0 for bss, 1 for adhoc) # ifconfig ndis0 <my ipaddr> netmask 0xffffff00 up Things to be done: - get rid of debug messages - add in ndis80211 support - defer transmissions until after a status update with NDIS_STATUS_CONNECTED occurs - Create smarter lookaside list support - Split off if_ndis_pci.c and if_ndis_pccard.c attachments - Make sure PCMCIA support works - Fix ndiscvt to properly parse PCMCIA device IDs from INF files - write ndisapi.9 man page

Add support for Windows/x86-64 binaries to Project Evil. Ville-Pertti Keinonen (will at exomi dot comohmygodnospampleasekthx) deserves a big thanks for submitting initial patches to make it work. I have mangled his contributions appropriately. The main gotcha with Windows/x86-64 is that Microsoft uses a different calling convention than everyone else. The standard ABI requires using 6 registers for argument passing, with other arguments on the stack. Microsoft uses only 4 registers, and requires the caller to leave room on the stack for the register arguments incase the callee needs to spill them. Unlike x86, where Microsoft uses a mix of _cdecl, _stdcall and _fastcall, all routines on Windows/x86-64 uses the same convention. This unfortunately means that all the functions we export to the driver require an intermediate translation wrapper. Similarly, we have to wrap all calls back into the driver binary itself. The original patches provided macros to wrap every single routine at compile time, providing a secondary jump table with a customized wrapper for each exported routine. I decided to use a different approach: the call wrapper for each function is created from a template at runtime, and the routine to jump to is patched into the wrapper as it is created. The subr_pe module has been modified to patch in the wrapped function instead of the original. (On x86, the wrapping routine is a no-op.) There are some minor API differences that had to be accounted for: - KeAcquireSpinLock() is a real function on amd64, not a macro wrapper around KfAcquireSpinLock() - NdisFreeBuffer() is actually IoFreeMdl(). I had to change the whole NDIS_BUFFER API a bit to accomodate this. Bugs fixed along the way: - IoAllocateMdl() always returned NULL - kern_windrv.c:windrv_unload() wasn't releasing private driver object extensions correctly (found thanks to memguard) This has only been tested with the driver for the Broadcom 802.11g chipset, which was the only Windows/x86-64 driver I could find.

- In subr_ndis.c:ndis_init_event(), initialize events as notification objects rather than synchronization objects. When a sync object is signaled, only the first thread waiting on it is woken up, and then it's automatically reset to the not-signaled state. When a notification object is signaled, all threads waiting on it will be woken up, and it remains in the signaled state until someone resets it manually. We want the latter behavior for NDIS events. - In kern_ndis.c:ndis_convert_res(), we have to create a temporary copy of the list returned by BUS_GET_RESOURCE_LIST(). When the PCI bus code probes resources for a given device, it enters them into a singly linked list, head first. The result is that traversing this list gives you the resources in reverse order. This means when we create the Windows resource list, it will be in reverse order too. Unfortunately, this can hose drivers for devices with multiple I/O ranges of the same type, like, say, two memory mapped I/O regions (one for registers, one to map the NVRAM/bootrom/whatever). Some drivers test the range size to figure out which region is which, but others just assume that the resources will be listed in ascending order from lowest numbered BAR to highest. Reversing the order means such drivers will choose the wrong resource as their I/O register range. Since we can't traverse the resource SLIST backwards, we have to make a temporary copy of the list in the right order and then build the Windows resource list from that. I suppose we could just fix the PCI bus code to use a TAILQ instead, but then I'd have to track down all the consumers of the BUS_GET_RESOURCE_LIST() and fix them too.

Commit the first cut of Project Evil, also known as the NDISulator. Yes, it's what you think it is. Yes, you should run away now. This is a special compatibility module for allowing Windows NDIS miniport network drivers to be used with FreeBSD/x86. This provides _binary_ NDIS compatibility (not source): you can run NDIS driver code, but you can't build it. There are three main parts: sys/compat/ndis: the NDIS compat API, which provides binary compatibility functions for many routines in NDIS.SYS, HAL.dll and ntoskrnl.exe in Windows (these are the three modules that most NDIS miniport drivers use). The compat module also contains a small PE relocator/dynalinker which relocates the Windows .SYS image and then patches in our native routines. sys/dev/if_ndis: the if_ndis driver wrapper. This module makes use of the ndis compat API and can be compiled with a specially prepared binary image file (ndis_driver_data.h) containing the Windows .SYS image and registry key information parsed out of the accompanying .INF file. Once if_ndis.ko is built, it can be loaded and unloaded just like a native FreeBSD kenrel module. usr.sbin/ndiscvt: a special utility that converts foo.sys and foo.inf into an ndis_driver_data.h file that can be compiled into if_ndis.o. Contains an .inf file parser graciously provided by Matt Dodd (and mercilessly hacked upon by me) that strips out device ID info and registry key info from a .INF file and packages it up with a binary image array. The ndiscvt(8) utility also does some manipulation of the segments within the .sys file to make life easier for the kernel loader. (Doing the manipulation here saves the kernel code from having to move things around later, which would waste memory.) ndiscvt is only built for the i386 arch. Only files.i386 has been updated, and none of this is turned on in GENERIC. It should probably work on pc98. I have no idea about amd64 or ia64 at this point. This is still a work in progress. I estimate it's about %85 done, but I want it under CVS control so I can track subsequent changes. It has been tested with exactly three drivers: the LinkSys LNE100TX v4 driver (Lne100v4.sys), the sample Intel 82559 driver from the Windows DDK (e100bex.sys) and the Broadcom BCM43xx wireless driver (bcmwl5.sys). It still needs to have a net80211 stuff added to it. To use it, you would do something like this: # cd /sys/modules/ndis # make; make load # cd /sys/modules/if_ndis # ndiscvt -i /path/to/foo.inf -s /path/to/foo.sys -o ndis_driver_data.h # make; make load # sysctl -a | grep ndis All registry keys are mapped to sysctl nodes. Sometimes drivers refer to registry keys that aren't mentioned in foo.inf. If this happens, the NDIS API module creates sysctl nodes for these keys on the fly so you can tweak them. An example usage of the Broadcom wireless driver would be: # sysctl hw.ndis0.EnableAutoConnect=1 # sysctl hw.ndis0.SSID="MY_SSID" # sysctl hw.ndis0.NetworkType=0 (0 for bss, 1 for adhoc) # ifconfig ndis0 <my ipaddr> netmask 0xffffff00 up Things to be done: - get rid of debug messages - add in ndis80211 support - defer transmissions until after a status update with NDIS_STATUS_CONNECTED occurs - Create smarter lookaside list support - Split off if_ndis_pci.c and if_ndis_pccard.c attachments - Make sure PCMCIA support works - Fix ndiscvt to properly parse PCMCIA device IDs from INF files - write ndisapi.9 man page

Next step on the road to IRPs: create and use an imitation of the Windows DRIVER_OBJECT and DEVICE_OBJECT mechanism so that we can simulate driver stacking. In Windows, each loaded driver image is attached to a DRIVER_OBJECT structure. Windows uses the registry to match up a given vendor/device ID combination with a corresponding DRIVER_OBJECT. When a driver image is first loaded, its DriverEntry() routine is invoked, which sets up the AddDevice() function pointer in the DRIVER_OBJECT and creates a dispatch table (based on IRP major codes). When a Windows bus driver detects a new device, it creates a Physical Device Object (PDO) for it. This is a DEVICE_OBJECT structure, with semantics analagous to that of a device_t in FreeBSD. The Windows PNP manager will invoke the driver's AddDevice() function and pass it pointers to the DRIVER_OBJECT and the PDO. The AddDevice() function then creates a new DRIVER_OBJECT structure of its own. This is known as the Functional Device Object (FDO) and corresponds roughly to a private softc instance. The driver uses IoAttachDeviceToDeviceStack() to add this device object to the driver stack for this PDO. Subsequent drivers (called filter drivers in Windows-speak) can be loaded which add themselves to the stack. When someone issues an IRP to a device, it travel along the stack passing through several possible filter drivers until it reaches the functional driver (which actually knows how to talk to the hardware) at which point it will be completed. This is how Windows achieves driver layering. Project Evil now simulates most of this. if_ndis now has a modevent handler which will use MOD_LOAD and MOD_UNLOAD events to drive the creation and destruction of DRIVER_OBJECTs. (The load event also does the relocation/dynalinking of the image.) We don't have a registry, so the DRIVER_OBJECTS are stored in a linked list for now. Eventually, the list entry will contain the vendor/device ID list extracted from the .INF file. When ndis_probe() is called and detectes a supported device, it will create a PDO for the device instance and attach it to the DRIVER_OBJECT just as in Windows. ndis_attach() will then call our NdisAddDevice() handler to create the FDO. The NDIS miniport block is now a device extension hung off the FDO, just as it is in Windows. The miniport characteristics table is now an extension hung off the DRIVER_OBJECT as well (the characteristics are the same for all devices handled by a given driver, so they don't need to be per-instance.) We also do an IoAttachDeviceToDeviceStack() to put the FDO on the stack for the PDO. There are a couple of fake bus drivers created for the PCI and pccard buses. Eventually, there will be one for USB, which will actually accept USB IRP.s Things should still work just as before, only now we do things in the proper order and maintain the correct framework to support passing IRPs between drivers. Various changes: - corrected the comments about IRQL handling in subr_hal.c to more accurately reflect reality - update ndiscvt to make the drv_data symbol in ndis_driver_data.h a global so that if_ndis_pci.o and/or if_ndis_pccard.o can see it. - Obtain the softc pointer from the miniport block by referencing the PDO rather than a private pointer of our own (nmb_ifp is no longer used) - implement IoAttachDeviceToDeviceStack(), IoDetachDevice(), IoGetAttachedDevice(), IoAllocateDriverObjectExtension(), IoGetDriverObjectExtension(), IoCreateDevice(), IoDeleteDevice(), IoAllocateIrp(), IoReuseIrp(), IoMakeAssociatedIrp(), IoFreeIrp(), IoInitializeIrp() - fix a few mistakes in the driver_object and device_object definitions - add a new module, kern_windrv.c, to handle the driver registration and relocation/dynalinkign duties (which don't really belong in kern_ndis.c). - made ndis_block and ndis_chars in the ndis_softc stucture pointers and modified all references to it - fixed NdisMRegisterMiniport() and NdisInitializeWrapper() so they work correctly with the new driver_object mechanism - changed ndis_attach() to call NdisAddDevice() instead of ndis_load_driver() (which is now deprecated) - used ExAllocatePoolWithTag()/ExFreePool() in lookaside list routines instead of kludged up alloc/free routines - added kern_windrv.c to sys/modules/ndis/Makefile and files.i386.

#if __FreeBSD_version < 600022
Finally bring an end to the great "make the Atheros NDIS driver work on SMP" saga. After several weeks and much gnashing of teeth, I have finally tracked down all the problems, despite their best efforts to confound and annoy me. Problem nunmber one: the Atheros windows driver is _NOT_ a de-serialized miniport! It used to be that NDIS drivers relied on the NDIS library itself for all their locking and serialization needs. Transmit packet queues were all handled internally by NDIS, and all calls to MiniportXXX() routines were guaranteed to be appropriately serialized. This proved to be a performance problem however, and Microsoft introduced de-serialized miniports with the NDIS 5.x spec. Microsoft still supports serialized miniports, but recommends that all new drivers written for Windows XP and later be deserialized. Apparently Atheros wasn't listening when they said this. This means (among other things) that we have to serialize calls to MiniportSendPackets(). We also have to serialize calls to MiniportTimer() that are triggered via the NdisMInitializeTimer() routine. It finally dawned on me why NdisMInitializeTimer() takes a special NDIS_MINIPORT_TIMER structure and a pointer to the miniport block: the timer callback must be serialized, and it's only by saving the miniport block handle that we can get access to the serialization lock during the timer callback. Problem number two: haunted hardware. The thing that was _really_ driving me absolutely bonkers for the longest time is that, for some reason I couldn't understand, my test machine would occasionally freeze or more frustratingly, reset completely. That's reset and in *pow!* back to the BIOS startup. No panic, no crashdump, just a reset. This appeared to happen most often when MiniportReset() was called. (As to why MiniportReset() was being called, see problem three below.) I thought maybe I had created some sort of horrible deadlock condition in the process of adding the serialization, but after three weeks, at least 6 different locking implementations and heroic efforts to debug the spinlock code, the machine still kept resetting. Finally, I started single stepping through the MiniportReset() routine in the driver using the kernel debugger, and this ultimately led me to the source of the problem. One of the last things the Atheros MiniportReset() routine does is call NdisReadPciSlotInformation() several times to inspect a portion of the device's PCI config space. It reads the same chunk of config space repeatedly, in rapid succession. Presumeably, it's polling the hardware for some sort of event. The reset occurs partway through this process. I discovered that when I single-stepped through this portion of the routine, the reset didn't occur. So I inserted a 1 microsecond delay into the read loop in NdisReadPciSlotInformation(). Suddenly, the reset was gone!! I'm still very puzzled by the whole thing. What I suspect is happening is that reading the PCI config space so quickly is causing a severe PCI bus error. My test system is a Sun w2100z dual Opteron system, and the NIC is a miniPCI card mounted in a miniPCI-to-PCI carrier card, plugged into a 100Mhz PCI slot. It's possible that this combination of hardware causes a bus protocol violation in this scenario which leads to a fatal machine check. This is pure speculation though. Really all I know for sure is that inserting the delay makes the problem go away. (To quote Homer Simpson: "I don't know how it works, but fire makes it good!") Problem number three: NdisAllocatePacket() needs to make sure to initialize the npp_validcounts field in the 'private' section of the NDIS_PACKET structure. The reason if_ndis was calling the MiniportReset() routine in the first place is that packet transmits were sometimes hanging. When sending a packet, an NDIS driver will call NdisQueryPacket() to learn how many physical buffers the packet resides in. NdisQueryPacket() is actually a macro, which traverses the NDIS_BUFFER list attached to the NDIS_PACKET and stashes some of the results in the 'private' section of the NDIS_PACKET. It also sets the npp_validcounts field to TRUE To indicate that the results are now valid. The problem is, now that if_ndis creates a pool of transmit packets via NdisAllocatePacketPool(), it's important that each time a new packet is allocated via NdisAllocatePacket() that validcounts be initialized to FALSE. If it isn't, and a previously transmitted NDIS_PACKET is pulled out of the pool, it may contain stale data from a previous transmission which won't get updated by NdisQueryPacket(). This would cause the driver to miscompute the number of fragments for a given packet, and botch the transmission. Fixing these three problems seems to make the Atheros driver happy on SMP, which hopefully means other serialized miniports will be happy too. And there was much rejoicing. Other stuff fixed along the way: - Modified ndis_thsuspend() to take a mutex as an argument. This allows KeWaitForSingleObject() and KeWaitForMultipleObjects() to avoid any possible race conditions with other routines that use the dispatcher lock. - Fixed KeCancelTimer() so that it returns the correct value for 'pending' according to the Microsoft documentation - Modfied NdisGetSystemUpTime() to use ticks and hz rather than calling nanouptime(). Also added comment that this routine wraps after 49.7 days. - Added macros for KeAcquireSpinLock()/KeReleaseSpinLock() to hide all the MSCALL() goop. - For x86, KeAcquireSpinLockRaiseToDpc() needs to be a separate function. This is because it's supposed to be _stdcall on the x86 arch, whereas KeAcquireSpinLock() is supposed to be _fastcall. On amd64, all routines use the same calling convention so we can just map KeAcquireSpinLockRaiseToDpc() directly to KfAcquireSpinLock() and it will work. (The _fastcall attribute is a no-op on amd64.) - Implement and use IoInitializeDpcRequest() and IoRequestDpc() (they're just macros) and use them for interrupt handling. This allows us to move the ndis_intrtask() routine from if_ndis.c to kern_ndis.c. - Fix the MmInitializeMdl() macro so that is uses sizeof(vm_offset_t) when computing mdl_size instead of uint32_t, so that it matches the MmSizeOfMdl() routine. - Change a could of M_WAITOKs to M_NOWAITs in the unicode routines in subr_ndis.c. - Use the dispatcher lock a little more consistently in subr_ntoskrnl.c. - Get rid of the "wait for link event" hack in ndis_init(). Now that I fixed NdisReadPciSlotInformation(), it seems I don't need it anymore. This should fix the witness panic a couple of people have reported. - Use MSCALL1() when calling the MiniportHangCheck() function in ndis_ticktask(). I accidentally missed this one when adding the wrapping for amd64.

This commit makes a bunch of changes, some big, some not so big. - Remove the old task threads from kern_ndis.c and reimplement them in subr_ntoskrnl.c, in order to more properly emulate the Windows DPC API. Each CPU gets its own DPC queue/thread, and each queue can have low, medium and high importance DPCs. New APIs implemented: KeSetTargetProcessorDpc(), KeSetImportanceDpc() and KeFlushQueuedDpcs(). (This is the biggest change.) - Fix a bug in NdisMInitializeTimer(): the k_dpc pointer in the nmt_timer embedded in the ndis_miniport_timer struct must be set to point to the DPC, also embedded in the struct. Failing to do this breaks dequeueing of DPCs submitted via timers, and in turn breaks cancelling timers. - Fix a bug in KeCancelTimer(): if the timer is interted in the timer queue (i.e. the timeout callback is still pending), we have to both untimeout() the timer _and_ call KeRemoveQueueDpc() to nuke the DPC that might be pending. Failing to do this breaks cancellation of periodic timers, which always appear to be inserted in the timer queue. - Make use of the nmt_nexttimer field in ndis_miniport_timer: keep a queue of pending timers and cancel them all in ndis_halt_nic(), prior to calling MiniportHalt(). Also call KeFlushQueuedDpcs() to make sure any DPCs queued by the timers have expired. - Modify NdisMAllocateSharedMemory() and NdisMFreeSharedMemory() to keep track of both the virtual and physical addresses of the shared memory buffers that get handed out. The AirGo MIMO driver appears to have a bug in it: for one of the segments is allocates, it returns the wrong virtual address. This would confuse NdisMFreeSharedMemory() and cause a crash. Why it doesn't crash Windows too I have no idea (from reading the documentation for NdisMFreeSharedMemory(), it appears to be a violation of the API). - Implement strstr(), strchr() and MmIsAddressValid(). - Implement IoAllocateWorkItem(), IoFreeWorkItem(), IoQueueWorkItem() and ExQueueWorkItem(). (This is the second biggest change.) - Make NdisScheduleWorkItem() call ExQueueWorkItem(). (Note that the ExQueueWorkItem() API is deprecated by Microsoft, but NDIS still uses it, since NdisScheduleWorkItem() is incompatible with the IoXXXWorkItem() API.) - Change if_ndis.c to use the NdisScheduleWorkItem() interface for scheduling tasks. With all these changes and fixes, the AirGo MIMO driver for the Belkin F5D8010 Pre-N card now works. Special thanks to Paul Robinson (paul dawt robinson at pwermedia dawt net) for the loan of a card for testing.

It finally dawned on me why NdisMInitializeTimer() takes a special NDIS_MINIPORT_TIMER structure and a pointer to the miniport block: the timer callback must be serialized, and it's only by saving the miniport block handle that we can get access to the serialization lock during the timer callback. Problem number two: haunted hardware. The thing that was _really_ driving me absolutely bonkers for the longest time is that, for some reason I couldn't understand, my test machine would occasionally freeze or more frustratingly, reset completely. That's reset and in *pow!* back to the BIOS startup. No panic, no crashdump, just a reset. This appeared to happen most often when MiniportReset() was called. (As to why MiniportReset() was being called, see problem three below.) I thought maybe I had created some sort of horrible deadlock condition in the process of adding the serialization, but after three weeks, at least 6 different locking implementations and heroic efforts to debug the spinlock code, the machine still kept resetting. Finally, I started single stepping through the MiniportReset() routine in the driver using the kernel debugger, and this ultimately led me to the source of the problem. One of the last things the Atheros MiniportReset() routine does is call NdisReadPciSlotInformation() several times to inspect a portion of the device's PCI config space. It reads the same chunk of config space repeatedly, in rapid succession. Presumeably, it's polling the hardware for some sort of event. The reset occurs partway through this process. I discovered that when I single-stepped through this portion of the routine, the reset didn't occur. So I inserted a 1 microsecond delay into the read loop in NdisReadPciSlotInformation(). Suddenly, the reset was gone!! I'm still very puzzled by the whole thing. What I suspect is happening is that reading the PCI config space so quickly is causing a severe PCI bus error. My test system is a Sun w2100z dual Opteron system, and the NIC is a miniPCI card mounted in a miniPCI-to-PCI carrier card, plugged into a 100Mhz PCI slot. It's possible that this combination of hardware causes a bus protocol violation in this scenario which leads to a fatal machine check. This is pure speculation though. Really all I know for sure is that inserting the delay makes the problem go away. (To quote Homer Simpson: "I don't know how it works, but fire makes it good!") Problem number three: NdisAllocatePacket() needs to make sure to initialize the npp_validcounts field in the 'private' section of the NDIS_PACKET structure. The reason if_ndis was calling the MiniportReset() routine in the first place is that packet transmits were sometimes hanging. When sending a packet, an NDIS driver will call NdisQueryPacket() to learn how many physical buffers the packet resides in. NdisQueryPacket() is actually a macro, which traverses the NDIS_BUFFER list attached to the NDIS_PACKET and stashes some of the results in the 'private' section of the NDIS_PACKET. It also sets the npp_validcounts field to TRUE To indicate that the results are now valid. The problem is, now that if_ndis creates a pool of transmit packets via NdisAllocatePacketPool(), it's important that each time a new packet is allocated via NdisAllocatePacket() that validcounts be initialized to FALSE. If it isn't, and a previously transmitted NDIS_PACKET is pulled out of the pool, it may contain stale data from a previous transmission which won't get updated by NdisQueryPacket(). This would cause the driver to miscompute the number of fragments for a given packet, and botch the transmission. Fixing these three problems seems to make the Atheros driver happy on SMP, which hopefully means other serialized miniports will be happy too. And there was much rejoicing. Other stuff fixed along the way: - Modified ndis_thsuspend() to take a mutex as an argument. This allows KeWaitForSingleObject() and KeWaitForMultipleObjects() to avoid any possible race conditions with other routines that use the dispatcher lock. - Fixed KeCancelTimer() so that it returns the correct value for 'pending' according to the Microsoft documentation - Modfied NdisGetSystemUpTime() to use ticks and hz rather than calling nanouptime(). Also added comment that this routine wraps after 49.7 days. - Added macros for KeAcquireSpinLock()/KeReleaseSpinLock() to hide all the MSCALL() goop. - For x86, KeAcquireSpinLockRaiseToDpc() needs to be a separate function. This is because it's supposed to be _stdcall on the x86 arch, whereas KeAcquireSpinLock() is supposed to be _fastcall. On amd64, all routines use the same calling convention so we can just map KeAcquireSpinLockRaiseToDpc() directly to KfAcquireSpinLock() and it will work. (The _fastcall attribute is a no-op on amd64.) - Implement and use IoInitializeDpcRequest() and IoRequestDpc() (they're just macros) and use them for interrupt handling. This allows us to move the ndis_intrtask() routine from if_ndis.c to kern_ndis.c. - Fix the MmInitializeMdl() macro so that is uses sizeof(vm_offset_t) when computing mdl_size instead of uint32_t, so that it matches the MmSizeOfMdl() routine. - Change a could of M_WAITOKs to M_NOWAITs in the unicode routines in subr_ndis.c. - Use the dispatcher lock a little more consistently in subr_ntoskrnl.c. - Get rid of the "wait for link event" hack in ndis_init(). Now that I fixed NdisReadPciSlotInformation(), it seems I don't need it anymore. This should fix the witness panic a couple of people have reported. - Use MSCALL1() when calling the MiniportHangCheck() function in ndis_ticktask(). I accidentally missed this one when adding the wrapping for amd64.

- In subr_ndis.c:ndis_init_event(), initialize events as notification objects rather than synchronization objects. When a sync object is signaled, only the first thread waiting on it is woken up, and then it's automatically reset to the not-signaled state. When a notification object is signaled, all threads waiting on it will be woken up, and it remains in the signaled state until someone resets it manually. We want the latter behavior for NDIS events. - In kern_ndis.c:ndis_convert_res(), we have to create a temporary copy of the list returned by BUS_GET_RESOURCE_LIST(). When the PCI bus code probes resources for a given device, it enters them into a singly linked list, head first. The result is that traversing this list gives you the resources in reverse order. This means when we create the Windows resource list, it will be in reverse order too. Unfortunately, this can hose drivers for devices with multiple I/O ranges of the same type, like, say, two memory mapped I/O regions (one for registers, one to map the NVRAM/bootrom/whatever). Some drivers test the range size to figure out which region is which, but others just assume that the resources will be listed in ascending order from lowest numbered BAR to highest. Reversing the order means such drivers will choose the wrong resource as their I/O register range. Since we can't traverse the resource SLIST backwards, we have to make a temporary copy of the list in the right order and then build the Windows resource list from that. I suppose we could just fix the PCI bus code to use a TAILQ instead, but then I'd have to track down all the consumers of the BUS_GET_RESOURCE_LIST() and fix them too.

Another round of cleanups and fixes: - Change ndis_return() from a DPC to a workitem so that it doesn't run at DISPATCH_LEVEL (with the dispatcher lock held). - In if_ndis.c, submit packets to the stack via (*ifp->if_input)() in a workitem instead of doing it directly in ndis_rxeof(), because ndis_rxeof() runs in a DPC, and hence at DISPATCH_LEVEL. This implies that the 'dispatch level' mutex for the current CPU is being held, and we don't want to call if_input while holding any locks. - Reimplement IoConnectInterrupt()/IoDisconnectInterrupt(). The original approach I used to track down the interrupt resource (by scanning the device tree starting at the nexus) is prone to problems when two devices share an interrupt. (E.g removing ndis1 might disable interrupts for ndis0.)

For deserialized drivers, we now create a packet array of 64 entries.

Commit the first cut of Project Evil, also known as the NDISulator. Yes, it's what you think it is. Yes, you should run away now. This is a special compatibility module for allowing Windows NDIS miniport network drivers to be used with FreeBSD/x86. This provides _binary_ NDIS compatibility (not source): you can run NDIS driver code, but you can't build it. There are three main parts: sys/compat/ndis: the NDIS compat API, which provides binary compatibility functions for many routines in NDIS.SYS, HAL.dll and ntoskrnl.exe in Windows (these are the three modules that most NDIS miniport drivers use). The compat module also contains a small PE relocator/dynalinker which relocates the Windows .SYS image and then patches in our native routines. sys/dev/if_ndis: the if_ndis driver wrapper. This module makes use of the ndis compat API and can be compiled with a specially prepared binary image file (ndis_driver_data.h) containing the Windows .SYS image and registry key information parsed out of the accompanying .INF file. Once if_ndis.ko is built, it can be loaded and unloaded just like a native FreeBSD kenrel module. usr.sbin/ndiscvt: a special utility that converts foo.sys and foo.inf into an ndis_driver_data.h file that can be compiled into if_ndis.o. Contains an .inf file parser graciously provided by Matt Dodd (and mercilessly hacked upon by me) that strips out device ID info and registry key info from a .INF file and packages it up with a binary image array. The ndiscvt(8) utility also does some manipulation of the segments within the .sys file to make life easier for the kernel loader. (Doing the manipulation here saves the kernel code from having to move things around later, which would waste memory.) ndiscvt is only built for the i386 arch. Only files.i386 has been updated, and none of this is turned on in GENERIC. It should probably work on pc98. I have no idea about amd64 or ia64 at this point. This is still a work in progress. I estimate it's about %85 done, but I want it under CVS control so I can track subsequent changes. It has been tested with exactly three drivers: the LinkSys LNE100TX v4 driver (Lne100v4.sys), the sample Intel 82559 driver from the Windows DDK (e100bex.sys) and the Broadcom BCM43xx wireless driver (bcmwl5.sys). It still needs to have a net80211 stuff added to it. To use it, you would do something like this: # cd /sys/modules/ndis # make; make load # cd /sys/modules/if_ndis # ndiscvt -i /path/to/foo.inf -s /path/to/foo.sys -o ndis_driver_data.h # make; make load # sysctl -a | grep ndis All registry keys are mapped to sysctl nodes. Sometimes drivers refer to registry keys that aren't mentioned in foo.inf. If this happens, the NDIS API module creates sysctl nodes for these keys on the fly so you can tweak them. An example usage of the Broadcom wireless driver would be: # sysctl hw.ndis0.EnableAutoConnect=1 # sysctl hw.ndis0.SSID="MY_SSID" # sysctl hw.ndis0.NetworkType=0 (0 for bss, 1 for adhoc) # ifconfig ndis0 <my ipaddr> netmask 0xffffff00 up Things to be done: - get rid of debug messages - add in ndis80211 support - defer transmissions until after a status update with NDIS_STATUS_CONNECTED occurs - Create smarter lookaside list support - Split off if_ndis_pci.c and if_ndis_pccard.c attachments - Make sure PCMCIA support works - Fix ndiscvt to properly parse PCMCIA device IDs from INF files - write ndisapi.9 man page

When a sync object is signaled, only the first thread waiting on it is woken up, and then it's automatically reset to the not-signaled state.

We want the latter behavior for NDIS events. - In kern_ndis.c:ndis_convert_res(), we have to create a temporary copy of the list returned by BUS_GET_RESOURCE_LIST().

This means when we create the Windows resource list, it will be in reverse order too. Unfortunately, this can hose drivers for devices with multiple I/O ranges of the same type, like, say, two memory mapped I/O regions (one for registers, one to map the NVRAM/bootrom/whatever). Some drivers test the range size to figure out which region is which, but others just assume that the resources will be listed in ascending order from lowest numbered BAR to highest. Reversing the order means such drivers will choose the wrong resource as their I/O register range. Since we can't traverse the resource SLIST backwards, we have to make a temporary copy of the list in the right order and then build the Windows resource list from that.

bad:
Finally bring an end to the great "make the Atheros NDIS driver work on SMP" saga. After several weeks and much gnashing of teeth, I have finally tracked down all the problems, despite their best efforts to confound and annoy me. Problem nunmber one: the Atheros windows driver is _NOT_ a de-serialized miniport! It used to be that NDIS drivers relied on the NDIS library itself for all their locking and serialization needs. Transmit packet queues were all handled internally by NDIS, and all calls to MiniportXXX() routines were guaranteed to be appropriately serialized. This proved to be a performance problem however, and Microsoft introduced de-serialized miniports with the NDIS 5.x spec. Microsoft still supports serialized miniports, but recommends that all new drivers written for Windows XP and later be deserialized. Apparently Atheros wasn't listening when they said this. This means (among other things) that we have to serialize calls to MiniportSendPackets(). We also have to serialize calls to MiniportTimer() that are triggered via the NdisMInitializeTimer() routine. It finally dawned on me why NdisMInitializeTimer() takes a special NDIS_MINIPORT_TIMER structure and a pointer to the miniport block: the timer callback must be serialized, and it's only by saving the miniport block handle that we can get access to the serialization lock during the timer callback. Problem number two: haunted hardware. The thing that was _really_ driving me absolutely bonkers for the longest time is that, for some reason I couldn't understand, my test machine would occasionally freeze or more frustratingly, reset completely. That's reset and in *pow!* back to the BIOS startup. No panic, no crashdump, just a reset. This appeared to happen most often when MiniportReset() was called. (As to why MiniportReset() was being called, see problem three below.) I thought maybe I had created some sort of horrible deadlock condition in the process of adding the serialization, but after three weeks, at least 6 different locking implementations and heroic efforts to debug the spinlock code, the machine still kept resetting. Finally, I started single stepping through the MiniportReset() routine in the driver using the kernel debugger, and this ultimately led me to the source of the problem. One of the last things the Atheros MiniportReset() routine does is call NdisReadPciSlotInformation() several times to inspect a portion of the device's PCI config space. It reads the same chunk of config space repeatedly, in rapid succession. Presumeably, it's polling the hardware for some sort of event. The reset occurs partway through this process. I discovered that when I single-stepped through this portion of the routine, the reset didn't occur. So I inserted a 1 microsecond delay into the read loop in NdisReadPciSlotInformation(). Suddenly, the reset was gone!! I'm still very puzzled by the whole thing. What I suspect is happening is that reading the PCI config space so quickly is causing a severe PCI bus error. My test system is a Sun w2100z dual Opteron system, and the NIC is a miniPCI card mounted in a miniPCI-to-PCI carrier card, plugged into a 100Mhz PCI slot. It's possible that this combination of hardware causes a bus protocol violation in this scenario which leads to a fatal machine check. This is pure speculation though. Really all I know for sure is that inserting the delay makes the problem go away. (To quote Homer Simpson: "I don't know how it works, but fire makes it good!") Problem number three: NdisAllocatePacket() needs to make sure to initialize the npp_validcounts field in the 'private' section of the NDIS_PACKET structure. The reason if_ndis was calling the MiniportReset() routine in the first place is that packet transmits were sometimes hanging. When sending a packet, an NDIS driver will call NdisQueryPacket() to learn how many physical buffers the packet resides in. NdisQueryPacket() is actually a macro, which traverses the NDIS_BUFFER list attached to the NDIS_PACKET and stashes some of the results in the 'private' section of the NDIS_PACKET. It also sets the npp_validcounts field to TRUE To indicate that the results are now valid. The problem is, now that if_ndis creates a pool of transmit packets via NdisAllocatePacketPool(), it's important that each time a new packet is allocated via NdisAllocatePacket() that validcounts be initialized to FALSE. If it isn't, and a previously transmitted NDIS_PACKET is pulled out of the pool, it may contain stale data from a previous transmission which won't get updated by NdisQueryPacket(). This would cause the driver to miscompute the number of fragments for a given packet, and botch the transmission. Fixing these three problems seems to make the Atheros driver happy on SMP, which hopefully means other serialized miniports will be happy too. And there was much rejoicing. Other stuff fixed along the way: - Modified ndis_thsuspend() to take a mutex as an argument. This allows KeWaitForSingleObject() and KeWaitForMultipleObjects() to avoid any possible race conditions with other routines that use the dispatcher lock. - Fixed KeCancelTimer() so that it returns the correct value for 'pending' according to the Microsoft documentation - Modfied NdisGetSystemUpTime() to use ticks and hz rather than calling nanouptime(). Also added comment that this routine wraps after 49.7 days. - Added macros for KeAcquireSpinLock()/KeReleaseSpinLock() to hide all the MSCALL() goop. - For x86, KeAcquireSpinLockRaiseToDpc() needs to be a separate function. This is because it's supposed to be _stdcall on the x86 arch, whereas KeAcquireSpinLock() is supposed to be _fastcall. On amd64, all routines use the same calling convention so we can just map KeAcquireSpinLockRaiseToDpc() directly to KfAcquireSpinLock() and it will work. (The _fastcall attribute is a no-op on amd64.) - Implement and use IoInitializeDpcRequest() and IoRequestDpc() (they're just macros) and use them for interrupt handling. This allows us to move the ndis_intrtask() routine from if_ndis.c to kern_ndis.c. - Fix the MmInitializeMdl() macro so that is uses sizeof(vm_offset_t) when computing mdl_size instead of uint32_t, so that it matches the MmSizeOfMdl() routine. - Change a could of M_WAITOKs to M_NOWAITs in the unicode routines in subr_ndis.c. - Use the dispatcher lock a little more consistently in subr_ntoskrnl.c. - Get rid of the "wait for link event" hack in ndis_init(). Now that I fixed NdisReadPciSlotInformation(), it seems I don't need it anymore. This should fix the witness panic a couple of people have reported. - Use MSCALL1() when calling the MiniportHangCheck() function in ndis_ticktask(). I accidentally missed this one when adding the wrapping for amd64.

Commit the first cut of Project Evil, also known as the NDISulator. Yes, it's what you think it is. Yes, you should run away now. This is a special compatibility module for allowing Windows NDIS miniport network drivers to be used with FreeBSD/x86. This provides _binary_ NDIS compatibility (not source): you can run NDIS driver code, but you can't build it. There are three main parts: sys/compat/ndis: the NDIS compat API, which provides binary compatibility functions for many routines in NDIS.SYS, HAL.dll and ntoskrnl.exe in Windows (these are the three modules that most NDIS miniport drivers use). The compat module also contains a small PE relocator/dynalinker which relocates the Windows .SYS image and then patches in our native routines. sys/dev/if_ndis: the if_ndis driver wrapper. This module makes use of the ndis compat API and can be compiled with a specially prepared binary image file (ndis_driver_data.h) containing the Windows .SYS image and registry key information parsed out of the accompanying .INF file. Once if_ndis.ko is built, it can be loaded and unloaded just like a native FreeBSD kenrel module. usr.sbin/ndiscvt: a special utility that converts foo.sys and foo.inf into an ndis_driver_data.h file that can be compiled into if_ndis.o. Contains an .inf file parser graciously provided by Matt Dodd (and mercilessly hacked upon by me) that strips out device ID info and registry key info from a .INF file and packages it up with a binary image array. The ndiscvt(8) utility also does some manipulation of the segments within the .sys file to make life easier for the kernel loader. (Doing the manipulation here saves the kernel code from having to move things around later, which would waste memory.) ndiscvt is only built for the i386 arch. Only files.i386 has been updated, and none of this is turned on in GENERIC. It should probably work on pc98. I have no idea about amd64 or ia64 at this point. This is still a work in progress. I estimate it's about %85 done, but I want it under CVS control so I can track subsequent changes. It has been tested with exactly three drivers: the LinkSys LNE100TX v4 driver (Lne100v4.sys), the sample Intel 82559 driver from the Windows DDK (e100bex.sys) and the Broadcom BCM43xx wireless driver (bcmwl5.sys). It still needs to have a net80211 stuff added to it. To use it, you would do something like this: # cd /sys/modules/ndis # make; make load # cd /sys/modules/if_ndis # ndiscvt -i /path/to/foo.inf -s /path/to/foo.sys -o ndis_driver_data.h # make; make load # sysctl -a | grep ndis All registry keys are mapped to sysctl nodes.

This commit makes a big round of updates and fixes many, many things. First and most importantly, I threw out the thread priority-twiddling implementation of KeRaiseIrql()/KeLowerIrq()/KeGetCurrentIrql() in favor of a new scheme that uses sleep mutexes. The old scheme was really very naughty and sought to provide the same behavior as Windows spinlocks (i.e. blocking pre-emption) but in a way that wouldn't raise the ire of WITNESS. The new scheme represents 'DISPATCH_LEVEL' as the acquisition of a per-cpu sleep mutex. If a thread on cpu0 acquires the 'dispatcher mutex,' it will block any other thread on the same processor that tries to acquire it, in effect only allowing one thread on the processor to be at 'DISPATCH_LEVEL' at any given time. It can then do the 'atomic sit and spin' routine on the spinlock variable itself. If a thread on cpu1 wants to acquire the same spinlock, it acquires the 'dispatcher mutex' for cpu1 and then it too does an atomic sit and spin to try acquiring the spinlock. Unlike real spinlocks, this does not disable pre-emption of all threads on the CPU, but it does put any threads involved with the NDISulator to sleep, which is just as good for our purposes. This means I can now play nice with WITNESS, and I can safely do things like call malloc() when I'm at 'DISPATCH_LEVEL,' which you're allowed to do in Windows. Next, I completely re-wrote most of the event/timer/mutex handling and wait code. KeWaitForSingleObject() and KeWaitForMultipleObjects() have been re-written to use condition variables instead of msleep(). This allows us to use the Windows convention whereby thread A can tell thread B "wake up with a boosted priority." (With msleep(), you instead have thread B saying "when I get woken up, I'll use this priority here," and thread A can't tell it to do otherwise.) The new KeWaitForMultipleObjects() has been better tested and better duplicates the semantics of its Windows counterpart. I also overhauled the IoQueueWorkItem() API and underlying code. Like KeInsertQueueDpc(), IoQueueWorkItem() must insure that the same work item isn't put on the queue twice. ExQueueWorkItem(), which in my implementation is built on top of IoQueueWorkItem(), was also modified to perform a similar test. I renamed the doubly-linked list macros to give them the same names as their Windows counterparts and fixed RemoveListTail() and RemoveListHead() so they properly return the removed item. I also corrected the list handling code in ntoskrnl_dpc_thread() and ntoskrnl_workitem_thread(). I realized that the original logic did not correctly handle the case where a DPC callout tries to queue up another DPC. It works correctly now. I implemented IoConnectInterrupt() and IoDisconnectInterrupt() and modified NdisMRegisterInterrupt() and NdisMDisconnectInterrupt() to use them. I also tried to duplicate the interrupt handling scheme used in Windows. The interrupt handling is now internal to ndis.ko, and the ndis_intr() function has been removed from if_ndis.c. (In the USB case, interrupt handling isn't needed in if_ndis.c anyway.) NdisMSleep() has been rewritten to use a KeWaitForSingleObject() and a KeTimer, which is how it works in Windows. (This is mainly to insure that the NDISulator uses the KeTimer API so I can spot any problems with it that may arise.) KeCancelTimer() has been changed so that it only cancels timers, and does not attempt to cancel a DPC if the timer managed to fire and queue one up before KeCancelTimer() was called. The Windows DDK documentation seems to imply that KeCantelTimer() will also call KeRemoveQueueDpc() if necessary, but it really doesn't. The KeTimer implementation has been rewritten to use the callout API directly instead of timeout()/untimeout(). I still cheat a little in that I have to manage my own small callout timer wheel, but the timer code works more smoothly now. I discovered a race condition using timeout()/untimeout() with periodic timers where untimeout() fails to actually cancel a timer. I don't quite understand where the race is, using callout_init()/callout_reset()/callout_stop() directly seems to fix it. I also discovered and fixed a bug in winx32_wrap.S related to translating _stdcall calls. There are a couple of routines (i.e. the 64-bit arithmetic intrinsics in subr_ntoskrnl) that return 64-bit quantities. On the x86 arch, 64-bit values are returned in the %eax and %edx registers. However, it happens that the ctxsw_utow() routine uses %edx as a scratch register, and x86_stdcall_wrap() and x86_stdcall_call() were only preserving %eax before branching to ctxsw_utow(). This means %edx was getting clobbered in some cases. Curiously, the most noticeable effect of this bug is that the driver for the TI AXC110 chipset would constantly drop and reacquire its link for no apparent reason. Both %eax and %edx are preserved on the stack now. The _fastcall and _regparm wrappers already handled everything correctly. I changed if_ndis to use IoAllocateWorkItem() and IoQueueWorkItem() instead of the NdisScheduleWorkItem() API. This is to avoid possible deadlocks with any drivers that use NdisScheduleWorkItem() themselves. The unicode/ansi conversion handling code has been cleaned up. The internal routines have been moved to subr_ntoskrnl and the RtlXXX routines have been exported so that subr_ndis can call them. This removes the incestuous relationship between the two modules regarding this code and fixes the implementation so that it honors the 'maxlen' fields correctly. (Previously it was possible for NdisUnicodeStringToAnsiString() to possibly clobber memory it didn't own, which was causing many mysterious crashes in the Marvell 8335 driver.) The registry handling code (NdisOpen/Close/ReadConfiguration()) has been fixed to allocate memory for all the parameters it hands out to callers and delete whem when NdisCloseConfiguration() is called. (Previously, it would secretly use a single static buffer.) I also substantially updated if_ndis so that the source can now be built on FreeBSD 7, 6 and 5 without any changes. On FreeBSD 5, only WEP support is enabled. On FreeBSD 6 and 7, WPA-PSK support is enabled. The original WPA code has been updated to fit in more cleanly with the net80211 API, and to eleminate the use of magic numbers. The ndis_80211_setstate() routine now sets a default authmode of OPEN and initializes the RTS threshold and fragmentation threshold. The WPA routines were changed so that the authentication mode is always set first, followed by the cipher. Some drivers depend on the operations being performed in this order. I also added passthrough ioctls that allow application code to directly call the MiniportSetInformation()/MiniportQueryInformation() methods via ndis_set_info() and ndis_get_info(). The ndis_linksts() routine also caches the last 4 events signalled by the driver via NdisMIndicateStatus(), and they can be queried by an application via a separate ioctl. This is done to allow wpa_supplicant to directly program the various crypto and key management options in the driver, allowing things like WPA2 support to work. Whew.

KeCancelTimer() has been changed so that it only cancels timers, and does not attempt to cancel a DPC if the timer managed to fire and queue one up before KeCancelTimer() was called. The Windows DDK documentation seems to imply that KeCantelTimer() will also call KeRemoveQueueDpc() if necessary, but it really doesn't. The KeTimer implementation has been rewritten to use the callout API directly instead of timeout()/untimeout(). I still cheat a little in that I have to manage my own small callout timer wheel, but the timer code works more smoothly now. I discovered a race condition using timeout()/untimeout() with periodic timers where untimeout() fails to actually cancel a timer. I don't quite understand where the race is, using callout_init()/callout_reset()/callout_stop() directly seems to fix it. I also discovered and fixed a bug in winx32_wrap.S related to translating _stdcall calls. There are a couple of routines (i.e. the 64-bit arithmetic intrinsics in subr_ntoskrnl) that return 64-bit quantities. On the x86 arch, 64-bit values are returned in the %eax and %edx registers. However, it happens that the ctxsw_utow() routine uses %edx as a scratch register, and x86_stdcall_wrap() and x86_stdcall_call() were only preserving %eax before branching to ctxsw_utow(). This means %edx was getting clobbered in some cases. Curiously, the most noticeable effect of this bug is that the driver for the TI AXC110 chipset would constantly drop and reacquire its link for no apparent reason. Both %eax and %edx are preserved on the stack now. The _fastcall and _regparm wrappers already handled everything correctly. I changed if_ndis to use IoAllocateWorkItem() and IoQueueWorkItem() instead of the NdisScheduleWorkItem() API. This is to avoid possible deadlocks with any drivers that use NdisScheduleWorkItem() themselves. The unicode/ansi conversion handling code has been cleaned up. The internal routines have been moved to subr_ntoskrnl and the RtlXXX routines have been exported so that subr_ndis can call them. This removes the incestuous relationship between the two modules regarding this code and fixes the implementation so that it honors the 'maxlen' fields correctly. (Previously it was possible for NdisUnicodeStringToAnsiString() to possibly clobber memory it didn't own, which was causing many mysterious crashes in the Marvell 8335 driver.) The registry handling code (NdisOpen/Close/ReadConfiguration()) has been fixed to allocate memory for all the parameters it hands out to callers and delete whem when NdisCloseConfiguration() is called. (Previously, it would secretly use a single static buffer.) I also substantially updated if_ndis so that the source can now be built on FreeBSD 7, 6 and 5 without any changes. On FreeBSD 5, only WEP support is enabled. On FreeBSD 6 and 7, WPA-PSK support is enabled. The original WPA code has been updated to fit in more cleanly with the net80211 API, and to eleminate the use of magic numbers. The ndis_80211_setstate() routine now sets a default authmode of OPEN and initializes the RTS threshold and fragmentation threshold. The WPA routines were changed so that the authentication mode is always set first, followed by the cipher. Some drivers depend on the operations being performed in this order. I also added passthrough ioctls that allow application code to directly call the MiniportSetInformation()/MiniportQueryInformation() methods via ndis_set_info() and ndis_get_info(). The ndis_linksts() routine also caches the last 4 events signalled by the driver via NdisMIndicateStatus(), and they can be queried by an application via a separate ioctl. This is done to allow wpa_supplicant to directly program the various crypto and key management options in the driver, allowing things like WPA2 support to work. Whew.

This commit makes a big round of updates and fixes many, many things. First and most importantly, I threw out the thread priority-twiddling implementation of KeRaiseIrql()/KeLowerIrq()/KeGetCurrentIrql() in favor of a new scheme that uses sleep mutexes. The old scheme was really very naughty and sought to provide the same behavior as Windows spinlocks (i.e. blocking pre-emption) but in a way that wouldn't raise the ire of WITNESS. The new scheme represents 'DISPATCH_LEVEL' as the acquisition of a per-cpu sleep mutex. If a thread on cpu0 acquires the 'dispatcher mutex,' it will block any other thread on the same processor that tries to acquire it, in effect only allowing one thread on the processor to be at 'DISPATCH_LEVEL' at any given time. It can then do the 'atomic sit and spin' routine on the spinlock variable itself. If a thread on cpu1 wants to acquire the same spinlock, it acquires the 'dispatcher mutex' for cpu1 and then it too does an atomic sit and spin to try acquiring the spinlock. Unlike real spinlocks, this does not disable pre-emption of all threads on the CPU, but it does put any threads involved with the NDISulator to sleep, which is just as good for our purposes. This means I can now play nice with WITNESS, and I can safely do things like call malloc() when I'm at 'DISPATCH_LEVEL,' which you're allowed to do in Windows. Next, I completely re-wrote most of the event/timer/mutex handling and wait code. KeWaitForSingleObject() and KeWaitForMultipleObjects() have been re-written to use condition variables instead of msleep(). This allows us to use the Windows convention whereby thread A can tell thread B "wake up with a boosted priority." (With msleep(), you instead have thread B saying "when I get woken up, I'll use this priority here," and thread A can't tell it to do otherwise.) The new KeWaitForMultipleObjects() has been better tested and better duplicates the semantics of its Windows counterpart. I also overhauled the IoQueueWorkItem() API and underlying code. Like KeInsertQueueDpc(), IoQueueWorkItem() must insure that the same work item isn't put on the queue twice. ExQueueWorkItem(), which in my implementation is built on top of IoQueueWorkItem(), was also modified to perform a similar test. I renamed the doubly-linked list macros to give them the same names as their Windows counterparts and fixed RemoveListTail() and RemoveListHead() so they properly return the removed item. I also corrected the list handling code in ntoskrnl_dpc_thread() and ntoskrnl_workitem_thread(). I realized that the original logic did not correctly handle the case where a DPC callout tries to queue up another DPC. It works correctly now. I implemented IoConnectInterrupt() and IoDisconnectInterrupt() and modified NdisMRegisterInterrupt() and NdisMDisconnectInterrupt() to use them. I also tried to duplicate the interrupt handling scheme used in Windows. The interrupt handling is now internal to ndis.ko, and the ndis_intr() function has been removed from if_ndis.c. (In the USB case, interrupt handling isn't needed in if_ndis.c anyway.) NdisMSleep() has been rewritten to use a KeWaitForSingleObject() and a KeTimer, which is how it works in Windows. (This is mainly to insure that the NDISulator uses the KeTimer API so I can spot any problems with it that may arise.) KeCancelTimer() has been changed so that it only cancels timers, and does not attempt to cancel a DPC if the timer managed to fire and queue one up before KeCancelTimer() was called. The Windows DDK documentation seems to imply that KeCantelTimer() will also call KeRemoveQueueDpc() if necessary, but it really doesn't. The KeTimer implementation has been rewritten to use the callout API directly instead of timeout()/untimeout(). I still cheat a little in that I have to manage my own small callout timer wheel, but the timer code works more smoothly now. I discovered a race condition using timeout()/untimeout() with periodic timers where untimeout() fails to actually cancel a timer. I don't quite understand where the race is, using callout_init()/callout_reset()/callout_stop() directly seems to fix it.

There are three main parts: sys/compat/ndis: the NDIS compat API, which provides binary compatibility functions for many routines in NDIS.SYS, HAL.dll and ntoskrnl.exe in Windows (these are the three modules that most NDIS miniport drivers use). The compat module also contains a small PE relocator/dynalinker which relocates the Windows .SYS image and then patches in our native routines. sys/dev/if_ndis: the if_ndis driver wrapper. This module makes use of the ndis compat API and can be compiled with a specially prepared binary image file (ndis_driver_data.h) containing the Windows .SYS image and registry key information parsed out of the accompanying .INF file. Once if_ndis.ko is built, it can be loaded and unloaded just like a native FreeBSD kenrel module. usr.sbin/ndiscvt: a special utility that converts foo.sys and foo.inf into an ndis_driver_data.h file that can be compiled into if_ndis.o. Contains an .inf file parser graciously provided by Matt Dodd (and mercilessly hacked upon by me) that strips out device ID info and registry key info from a .INF file and packages it up with a binary image array. The ndiscvt(8) utility also does some manipulation of the segments within the .sys file to make life easier for the kernel loader. (Doing the manipulation here saves the kernel code from having to move things around later, which would waste memory.) ndiscvt is only built for the i386 arch. Only files.i386 has been updated, and none of this is turned on in GENERIC. It should probably work on pc98. I have no idea about amd64 or ia64 at this point. This is still a work in progress. I estimate it's about %85 done, but I want it under CVS control so I can track subsequent changes. It has been tested with exactly three drivers: the LinkSys LNE100TX v4 driver (Lne100v4.sys), the sample Intel 82559 driver from the Windows DDK (e100bex.sys) and the Broadcom BCM43xx wireless driver (bcmwl5.sys). It still needs to have a net80211 stuff added to it. To use it, you would do something like this: # cd /sys/modules/ndis # make; make load # cd /sys/modules/if_ndis # ndiscvt -i /path/to/foo.inf -s /path/to/foo.sys -o ndis_driver_data.h # make; make load # sysctl -a | grep ndis All registry keys are mapped to sysctl nodes. Sometimes drivers refer to registry keys that aren't mentioned in foo.inf. If this happens, the NDIS API module creates sysctl nodes for these keys on the fly so you can tweak them. An example usage of the Broadcom wireless driver would be: # sysctl hw.ndis0.EnableAutoConnect=1 # sysctl hw.ndis0.SSID="MY_SSID" # sysctl hw.ndis0.NetworkType=0 (0 for bss, 1 for adhoc) # ifconfig ndis0 <my ipaddr> netmask 0xffffff00 up Things to be done: - get rid of debug messages - add in ndis80211 support - defer transmissions until after a status update with NDIS_STATUS_CONNECTED occurs - Create smarter lookaside list support - Split off if_ndis_pci.c and if_ndis_pccard.c attachments - Make sure PCMCIA support works - Fix ndiscvt to properly parse PCMCIA device IDs from INF files - write ndisapi.9 man page

This commit makes a big round of updates and fixes many, many things. First and most importantly, I threw out the thread priority-twiddling implementation of KeRaiseIrql()/KeLowerIrq()/KeGetCurrentIrql() in favor of a new scheme that uses sleep mutexes. The old scheme was really very naughty and sought to provide the same behavior as Windows spinlocks (i.e. blocking pre-emption) but in a way that wouldn't raise the ire of WITNESS. The new scheme represents 'DISPATCH_LEVEL' as the acquisition of a per-cpu sleep mutex. If a thread on cpu0 acquires the 'dispatcher mutex,' it will block any other thread on the same processor that tries to acquire it, in effect only allowing one thread on the processor to be at 'DISPATCH_LEVEL' at any given time. It can then do the 'atomic sit and spin' routine on the spinlock variable itself. If a thread on cpu1 wants to acquire the same spinlock, it acquires the 'dispatcher mutex' for cpu1 and then it too does an atomic sit and spin to try acquiring the spinlock. Unlike real spinlocks, this does not disable pre-emption of all threads on the CPU, but it does put any threads involved with the NDISulator to sleep, which is just as good for our purposes. This means I can now play nice with WITNESS, and I can safely do things like call malloc() when I'm at 'DISPATCH_LEVEL,' which you're allowed to do in Windows. Next, I completely re-wrote most of the event/timer/mutex handling and wait code. KeWaitForSingleObject() and KeWaitForMultipleObjects() have been re-written to use condition variables instead of msleep(). This allows us to use the Windows convention whereby thread A can tell thread B "wake up with a boosted priority." (With msleep(), you instead have thread B saying "when I get woken up, I'll use this priority here," and thread A can't tell it to do otherwise.) The new KeWaitForMultipleObjects() has been better tested and better duplicates the semantics of its Windows counterpart. I also overhauled the IoQueueWorkItem() API and underlying code. Like KeInsertQueueDpc(), IoQueueWorkItem() must insure that the same work item isn't put on the queue twice. ExQueueWorkItem(), which in my implementation is built on top of IoQueueWorkItem(), was also modified to perform a similar test. I renamed the doubly-linked list macros to give them the same names as their Windows counterparts and fixed RemoveListTail() and RemoveListHead() so they properly return the removed item. I also corrected the list handling code in ntoskrnl_dpc_thread() and ntoskrnl_workitem_thread(). I realized that the original logic did not correctly handle the case where a DPC callout tries to queue up another DPC. It works correctly now. I implemented IoConnectInterrupt() and IoDisconnectInterrupt() and modified NdisMRegisterInterrupt() and NdisMDisconnectInterrupt() to use them. I also tried to duplicate the interrupt handling scheme used in Windows. The interrupt handling is now internal to ndis.ko, and the ndis_intr() function has been removed from if_ndis.c. (In the USB case, interrupt handling isn't needed in if_ndis.c anyway.) NdisMSleep() has been rewritten to use a KeWaitForSingleObject() and a KeTimer, which is how it works in Windows. (This is mainly to insure that the NDISulator uses the KeTimer API so I can spot any problems with it that may arise.) KeCancelTimer() has been changed so that it only cancels timers, and does not attempt to cancel a DPC if the timer managed to fire and queue one up before KeCancelTimer() was called. The Windows DDK documentation seems to imply that KeCantelTimer() will also call KeRemoveQueueDpc() if necessary, but it really doesn't. The KeTimer implementation has been rewritten to use the callout API directly instead of timeout()/untimeout(). I still cheat a little in that I have to manage my own small callout timer wheel, but the timer code works more smoothly now. I discovered a race condition using timeout()/untimeout() with periodic timers where untimeout() fails to actually cancel a timer. I don't quite understand where the race is, using callout_init()/callout_reset()/callout_stop() directly seems to fix it. I also discovered and fixed a bug in winx32_wrap.S related to translating _stdcall calls. There are a couple of routines (i.e. the 64-bit arithmetic intrinsics in subr_ntoskrnl) that return 64-bit quantities. On the x86 arch, 64-bit values are returned in the %eax and %edx registers. However, it happens that the ctxsw_utow() routine uses %edx as a scratch register, and x86_stdcall_wrap() and x86_stdcall_call() were only preserving %eax before branching to ctxsw_utow(). This means %edx was getting clobbered in some cases. Curiously, the most noticeable effect of this bug is that the driver for the TI AXC110 chipset would constantly drop and reacquire its link for no apparent reason. Both %eax and %edx are preserved on the stack now. The _fastcall and _regparm wrappers already handled everything correctly. I changed if_ndis to use IoAllocateWorkItem() and IoQueueWorkItem() instead of the NdisScheduleWorkItem() API. This is to avoid possible deadlocks with any drivers that use NdisScheduleWorkItem() themselves. The unicode/ansi conversion handling code has been cleaned up. The internal routines have been moved to subr_ntoskrnl and the RtlXXX routines have been exported so that subr_ndis can call them. This removes the incestuous relationship between the two modules regarding this code and fixes the implementation so that it honors the 'maxlen' fields correctly. (Previously it was possible for NdisUnicodeStringToAnsiString() to possibly clobber memory it didn't own, which was causing many mysterious crashes in the Marvell 8335 driver.) The registry handling code (NdisOpen/Close/ReadConfiguration()) has been fixed to allocate memory for all the parameters it hands out to callers and delete whem when NdisCloseConfiguration() is called. (Previously, it would secretly use a single static buffer.) I also substantially updated if_ndis so that the source can now be built on FreeBSD 7, 6 and 5 without any changes. On FreeBSD 5, only WEP support is enabled. On FreeBSD 6 and 7, WPA-PSK support is enabled. The original WPA code has been updated to fit in more cleanly with the net80211 API, and to eleminate the use of magic numbers. The ndis_80211_setstate() routine now sets a default authmode of OPEN and initializes the RTS threshold and fragmentation threshold. The WPA routines were changed so that the authentication mode is always set first, followed by the cipher. Some drivers depend on the operations being performed in this order. I also added passthrough ioctls that allow application code to directly call the MiniportSetInformation()/MiniportQueryInformation() methods via ndis_set_info() and ndis_get_info(). The ndis_linksts() routine also caches the last 4 events signalled by the driver via NdisMIndicateStatus(), and they can be queried by an application via a separate ioctl. This is done to allow wpa_supplicant to directly program the various crypto and key management options in the driver, allowing things like WPA2 support to work. Whew.

Finally bring an end to the great "make the Atheros NDIS driver work on SMP" saga. After several weeks and much gnashing of teeth, I have finally tracked down all the problems, despite their best efforts to confound and annoy me. Problem nunmber one: the Atheros windows driver is _NOT_ a de-serialized miniport! It used to be that NDIS drivers relied on the NDIS library itself for all their locking and serialization needs. Transmit packet queues were all handled internally by NDIS, and all calls to MiniportXXX() routines were guaranteed to be appropriately serialized. This proved to be a performance problem however, and Microsoft introduced de-serialized miniports with the NDIS 5.x spec. Microsoft still supports serialized miniports, but recommends that all new drivers written for Windows XP and later be deserialized. Apparently Atheros wasn't listening when they said this. This means (among other things) that we have to serialize calls to MiniportSendPackets(). We also have to serialize calls to MiniportTimer() that are triggered via the NdisMInitializeTimer() routine. It finally dawned on me why NdisMInitializeTimer() takes a special NDIS_MINIPORT_TIMER structure and a pointer to the miniport block: the timer callback must be serialized, and it's only by saving the miniport block handle that we can get access to the serialization lock during the timer callback. Problem number two: haunted hardware. The thing that was _really_ driving me absolutely bonkers for the longest time is that, for some reason I couldn't understand, my test machine would occasionally freeze or more frustratingly, reset completely. That's reset and in *pow!* back to the BIOS startup. No panic, no crashdump, just a reset. This appeared to happen most often when MiniportReset() was called. (As to why MiniportReset() was being called, see problem three below.) I thought maybe I had created some sort of horrible deadlock condition in the process of adding the serialization, but after three weeks, at least 6 different locking implementations and heroic efforts to debug the spinlock code, the machine still kept resetting. Finally, I started single stepping through the MiniportReset() routine in the driver using the kernel debugger, and this ultimately led me to the source of the problem. One of the last things the Atheros MiniportReset() routine does is call NdisReadPciSlotInformation() several times to inspect a portion of the device's PCI config space. It reads the same chunk of config space repeatedly, in rapid succession. Presumeably, it's polling the hardware for some sort of event. The reset occurs partway through this process. I discovered that when I single-stepped through this portion of the routine, the reset didn't occur. So I inserted a 1 microsecond delay into the read loop in NdisReadPciSlotInformation(). Suddenly, the reset was gone!! I'm still very puzzled by the whole thing. What I suspect is happening is that reading the PCI config space so quickly is causing a severe PCI bus error. My test system is a Sun w2100z dual Opteron system, and the NIC is a miniPCI card mounted in a miniPCI-to-PCI carrier card, plugged into a 100Mhz PCI slot. It's possible that this combination of hardware causes a bus protocol violation in this scenario which leads to a fatal machine check. This is pure speculation though. Really all I know for sure is that inserting the delay makes the problem go away. (To quote Homer Simpson: "I don't know how it works, but fire makes it good!") Problem number three: NdisAllocatePacket() needs to make sure to initialize the npp_validcounts field in the 'private' section of the NDIS_PACKET structure. The reason if_ndis was calling the MiniportReset() routine in the first place is that packet transmits were sometimes hanging. When sending a packet, an NDIS driver will call NdisQueryPacket() to learn how many physical buffers the packet resides in. NdisQueryPacket() is actually a macro, which traverses the NDIS_BUFFER list attached to the NDIS_PACKET and stashes some of the results in the 'private' section of the NDIS_PACKET. It also sets the npp_validcounts field to TRUE To indicate that the results are now valid. The problem is, now that if_ndis creates a pool of transmit packets via NdisAllocatePacketPool(), it's important that each time a new packet is allocated via NdisAllocatePacket() that validcounts be initialized to FALSE. If it isn't, and a previously transmitted NDIS_PACKET is pulled out of the pool, it may contain stale data from a previous transmission which won't get updated by NdisQueryPacket(). This would cause the driver to miscompute the number of fragments for a given packet, and botch the transmission. Fixing these three problems seems to make the Atheros driver happy on SMP, which hopefully means other serialized miniports will be happy too. And there was much rejoicing. Other stuff fixed along the way: - Modified ndis_thsuspend() to take a mutex as an argument. This allows KeWaitForSingleObject() and KeWaitForMultipleObjects() to avoid any possible race conditions with other routines that use the dispatcher lock. - Fixed KeCancelTimer() so that it returns the correct value for 'pending' according to the Microsoft documentation - Modfied NdisGetSystemUpTime() to use ticks and hz rather than calling nanouptime(). Also added comment that this routine wraps after 49.7 days. - Added macros for KeAcquireSpinLock()/KeReleaseSpinLock() to hide all the MSCALL() goop. - For x86, KeAcquireSpinLockRaiseToDpc() needs to be a separate function. This is because it's supposed to be _stdcall on the x86 arch, whereas KeAcquireSpinLock() is supposed to be _fastcall. On amd64, all routines use the same calling convention so we can just map KeAcquireSpinLockRaiseToDpc() directly to KfAcquireSpinLock() and it will work. (The _fastcall attribute is a no-op on amd64.) - Implement and use IoInitializeDpcRequest() and IoRequestDpc() (they're just macros) and use them for interrupt handling. This allows us to move the ndis_intrtask() routine from if_ndis.c to kern_ndis.c. - Fix the MmInitializeMdl() macro so that is uses sizeof(vm_offset_t) when computing mdl_size instead of uint32_t, so that it matches the MmSizeOfMdl() routine. - Change a could of M_WAITOKs to M_NOWAITs in the unicode routines in subr_ndis.c. - Use the dispatcher lock a little more consistently in subr_ntoskrnl.c. - Get rid of the "wait for link event" hack in ndis_init(). Now that I fixed NdisReadPciSlotInformation(), it seems I don't need it anymore. This should fix the witness panic a couple of people have reported. - Use MSCALL1() when calling the MiniportHangCheck() function in ndis_ticktask(). I accidentally missed this one when adding the wrapping for amd64.

Add support for Windows/x86-64 binaries to Project Evil. Ville-Pertti Keinonen (will at exomi dot comohmygodnospampleasekthx) deserves a big thanks for submitting initial patches to make it work. I have mangled his contributions appropriately. The main gotcha with Windows/x86-64 is that Microsoft uses a different calling convention than everyone else. The standard ABI requires using 6 registers for argument passing, with other arguments on the stack. Microsoft uses only 4 registers, and requires the caller to leave room on the stack for the register arguments incase the callee needs to spill them. Unlike x86, where Microsoft uses a mix of _cdecl, _stdcall and _fastcall, all routines on Windows/x86-64 uses the same convention. This unfortunately means that all the functions we export to the driver require an intermediate translation wrapper. Similarly, we have to wrap all calls back into the driver binary itself. The original patches provided macros to wrap every single routine at compile time, providing a secondary jump table with a customized wrapper for each exported routine. I decided to use a different approach: the call wrapper for each function is created from a template at runtime, and the routine to jump to is patched into the wrapper as it is created. The subr_pe module has been modified to patch in the wrapped function instead of the original. (On x86, the wrapping routine is a no-op.) There are some minor API differences that had to be accounted for: - KeAcquireSpinLock() is a real function on amd64, not a macro wrapper around KfAcquireSpinLock() - NdisFreeBuffer() is actually IoFreeMdl(). I had to change the whole NDIS_BUFFER API a bit to accomodate this. Bugs fixed along the way: - IoAllocateMdl() always returned NULL - kern_windrv.c:windrv_unload() wasn't releasing private driver object extensions correctly (found thanks to memguard) This has only been tested with the driver for the Broadcom 802.11g chipset, which was the only Windows/x86-64 driver I could find.

Commit the first cut of Project Evil, also known as the NDISulator. Yes, it's what you think it is. Yes, you should run away now. This is a special compatibility module for allowing Windows NDIS miniport network drivers to be used with FreeBSD/x86. This provides _binary_ NDIS compatibility (not source): you can run NDIS driver code, but you can't build it. There are three main parts: sys/compat/ndis: the NDIS compat API, which provides binary compatibility functions for many routines in NDIS.SYS, HAL.dll and ntoskrnl.exe in Windows (these are the three modules that most NDIS miniport drivers use). The compat module also contains a small PE relocator/dynalinker which relocates the Windows .SYS image and then patches in our native routines. sys/dev/if_ndis: the if_ndis driver wrapper. This module makes use of the ndis compat API and can be compiled with a specially prepared binary image file (ndis_driver_data.h) containing the Windows .SYS image and registry key information parsed out of the accompanying .INF file. Once if_ndis.ko is built, it can be loaded and unloaded just like a native FreeBSD kenrel module. usr.sbin/ndiscvt: a special utility that converts foo.sys and foo.inf into an ndis_driver_data.h file that can be compiled into if_ndis.o. Contains an .inf file parser graciously provided by Matt Dodd (and mercilessly hacked upon by me) that strips out device ID info and registry key info from a .INF file and packages it up with a binary image array. The ndiscvt(8) utility also does some manipulation of the segments within the .sys file to make life easier for the kernel loader. (Doing the manipulation here saves the kernel code from having to move things around later, which would waste memory.) ndiscvt is only built for the i386 arch. Only files.i386 has been updated, and none of this is turned on in GENERIC. It should probably work on pc98. I have no idea about amd64 or ia64 at this point. This is still a work in progress. I estimate it's about %85 done, but I want it under CVS control so I can track subsequent changes.

This commit makes a big round of updates and fixes many, many things. First and most importantly, I threw out the thread priority-twiddling implementation of KeRaiseIrql()/KeLowerIrq()/KeGetCurrentIrql() in favor of a new scheme that uses sleep mutexes. The old scheme was really very naughty and sought to provide the same behavior as Windows spinlocks (i.e. blocking pre-emption) but in a way that wouldn't raise the ire of WITNESS. The new scheme represents 'DISPATCH_LEVEL' as the acquisition of a per-cpu sleep mutex. If a thread on cpu0 acquires the 'dispatcher mutex,' it will block any other thread on the same processor that tries to acquire it, in effect only allowing one thread on the processor to be at 'DISPATCH_LEVEL' at any given time. It can then do the 'atomic sit and spin' routine on the spinlock variable itself. If a thread on cpu1 wants to acquire the same spinlock, it acquires the 'dispatcher mutex' for cpu1 and then it too does an atomic sit and spin to try acquiring the spinlock. Unlike real spinlocks, this does not disable pre-emption of all threads on the CPU, but it does put any threads involved with the NDISulator to sleep, which is just as good for our purposes. This means I can now play nice with WITNESS, and I can safely do things like call malloc() when I'm at 'DISPATCH_LEVEL,' which you're allowed to do in Windows. Next, I completely re-wrote most of the event/timer/mutex handling and wait code. KeWaitForSingleObject() and KeWaitForMultipleObjects() have been re-written to use condition variables instead of msleep(). This allows us to use the Windows convention whereby thread A can tell thread B "wake up with a boosted priority." (With msleep(), you instead have thread B saying "when I get woken up, I'll use this priority here," and thread A can't tell it to do otherwise.) The new KeWaitForMultipleObjects() has been better tested and better duplicates the semantics of its Windows counterpart. I also overhauled the IoQueueWorkItem() API and underlying code. Like KeInsertQueueDpc(), IoQueueWorkItem() must insure that the same work item isn't put on the queue twice. ExQueueWorkItem(), which in my implementation is built on top of IoQueueWorkItem(), was also modified to perform a similar test. I renamed the doubly-linked list macros to give them the same names as their Windows counterparts and fixed RemoveListTail() and RemoveListHead() so they properly return the removed item. I also corrected the list handling code in ntoskrnl_dpc_thread() and ntoskrnl_workitem_thread(). I realized that the original logic did not correctly handle the case where a DPC callout tries to queue up another DPC. It works correctly now. I implemented IoConnectInterrupt() and IoDisconnectInterrupt() and modified NdisMRegisterInterrupt() and NdisMDisconnectInterrupt() to use them. I also tried to duplicate the interrupt handling scheme used in Windows. The interrupt handling is now internal to ndis.ko, and the ndis_intr() function has been removed from if_ndis.c. (In the USB case, interrupt handling isn't needed in if_ndis.c anyway.) NdisMSleep() has been rewritten to use a KeWaitForSingleObject() and a KeTimer, which is how it works in Windows. (This is mainly to insure that the NDISulator uses the KeTimer API so I can spot any problems with it that may arise.) KeCancelTimer() has been changed so that it only cancels timers, and does not attempt to cancel a DPC if the timer managed to fire and queue one up before KeCancelTimer() was called. The Windows DDK documentation seems to imply that KeCantelTimer() will also call KeRemoveQueueDpc() if necessary, but it really doesn't. The KeTimer implementation has been rewritten to use the callout API directly instead of timeout()/untimeout(). I still cheat a little in that I have to manage my own small callout timer wheel, but the timer code works more smoothly now. I discovered a race condition using timeout()/untimeout() with periodic timers where untimeout() fails to actually cancel a timer. I don't quite understand where the race is, using callout_init()/callout_reset()/callout_stop() directly seems to fix it. I also discovered and fixed a bug in winx32_wrap.S related to translating _stdcall calls. There are a couple of routines (i.e. the 64-bit arithmetic intrinsics in subr_ntoskrnl) that return 64-bit quantities. On the x86 arch, 64-bit values are returned in the %eax and %edx registers. However, it happens that the ctxsw_utow() routine uses %edx as a scratch register, and x86_stdcall_wrap() and x86_stdcall_call() were only preserving %eax before branching to ctxsw_utow(). This means %edx was getting clobbered in some cases. Curiously, the most noticeable effect of this bug is that the driver for the TI AXC110 chipset would constantly drop and reacquire its link for no apparent reason. Both %eax and %edx are preserved on the stack now. The _fastcall and _regparm wrappers already handled everything correctly. I changed if_ndis to use IoAllocateWorkItem() and IoQueueWorkItem() instead of the NdisScheduleWorkItem() API. This is to avoid possible deadlocks with any drivers that use NdisScheduleWorkItem() themselves. The unicode/ansi conversion handling code has been cleaned up. The internal routines have been moved to subr_ntoskrnl and the RtlXXX routines have been exported so that subr_ndis can call them. This removes the incestuous relationship between the two modules regarding this code and fixes the implementation so that it honors the 'maxlen' fields correctly. (Previously it was possible for NdisUnicodeStringToAnsiString() to possibly clobber memory it didn't own, which was causing many mysterious crashes in the Marvell 8335 driver.) The registry handling code (NdisOpen/Close/ReadConfiguration()) has been fixed to allocate memory for all the parameters it hands out to callers and delete whem when NdisCloseConfiguration() is called. (Previously, it would secretly use a single static buffer.) I also substantially updated if_ndis so that the source can now be built on FreeBSD 7, 6 and 5 without any changes. On FreeBSD 5, only WEP support is enabled. On FreeBSD 6 and 7, WPA-PSK support is enabled. The original WPA code has been updated to fit in more cleanly with the net80211 API, and to eleminate the use of magic numbers. The ndis_80211_setstate() routine now sets a default authmode of OPEN and initializes the RTS threshold and fragmentation threshold. The WPA routines were changed so that the authentication mode is always set first, followed by the cipher. Some drivers depend on the operations being performed in this order. I also added passthrough ioctls that allow application code to directly call the MiniportSetInformation()/MiniportQueryInformation() methods via ndis_set_info() and ndis_get_info(). The ndis_linksts() routine also caches the last 4 events signalled by the driver via NdisMIndicateStatus(), and they can be queried by an application via a separate ioctl. This is done to allow wpa_supplicant to directly program the various crypto and key management options in the driver, allowing things like WPA2 support to work. Whew.

Create new i386 windows/bsd thunking layer, similar to the amd64 thunking layer, but with a twist. The twist has to do with the fact that Microsoft supports structured exception handling in kernel mode. On the i386 arch, exception handling is implemented by hanging an exception registration list off the Thread Environment Block (TEB), and the TEB is accessed via the %fs register. The problem is, we use %fs as a pointer to the pcpu stucture, which means any driver that tries to write through %fs:0 will overwrite the curthread pointer and make a serious mess of things. To get around this, Project Evil now creates a special entry in the GDT on each processor. When we call into Windows code, a context switch routine will fix up %fs so it points to our new descriptor, which in turn points to a fake TEB. When the Windows code returns, or calls out to an external routine, we swap %fs back again. Currently, Project Evil makes use of GDT slot 7, which is all 0s by default. I fully expect someone to jump up and say I can't do that, but I couldn't find any code that makes use of this entry anywhere. Sadly, this was the only method I could come up with that worked on both UP and SMP. (Modifying the LDT works on UP, but becomes incredibly complicated on SMP.) If necessary, the context switching stuff can be yanked out while preserving the convention calling wrappers. (Fortunately, it looks like Microsoft uses some special epilog/prolog code on amd64 to implement exception handling, so the same nastiness won't be necessary on that arch.) The advantages are: - Any driver that uses %fs as though it were a TEB pointer won't clobber pcpu. - All the __stdcall/__fastcall/__regparm stuff that's specific to gcc goes away. Also, while I'm here, switch NdisGetSystemUpTime() back to using nanouptime() again. It turns out nanouptime() is way more accurate than just using ticks(). On slower machines, the Atheros drivers I tested seem to take a long time to associate due to the loss in accuracy.

Continue my efforts to imitate Windows as closely as possible by attempting to duplicate Windows spinlocks. Windows spinlocks differ from FreeBSD spinlocks in the way they block preemption. FreeBSD spinlocks use critical_enter(), which masks off _all_ interrupts. This prevents any other threads from being scheduled, but it also prevents ISRs from running. In Windows, preemption is achieved by raising the processor IRQL to DISPATCH_LEVEL, which prevents other threads from preempting you, but does _not_ prevent device ISRs from running. (This is essentially what Solaris calls dispatcher locks.) The Windows spinlock itself (kspin_lock) is just an integer value which is atomically set when you acquire the lock and atomically cleared when you release it. FreeBSD doesn't have IRQ levels, so we have to cheat a little by using thread priorities: normal thread priority is PASSIVE_LEVEL, lowest interrupt thread priority is DISPATCH_LEVEL, highest thread priority is DEVICE_LEVEL (PI_REALTIME) and critical_enter() is HIGH_LEVEL. In practice, only PASSIVE_LEVEL and DISPATCH_LEVEL matter to us. The immediate benefit of all this is that I no longer have to rely on a mutex pool. Now, I'm sure many people will be seized by the urge to criticize me for doing an end run around our own spinlock implementation, but it makes more sense to do it this way. Well, it does to me anyway. Overview of the changes: - Properly implement hal_lock(), hal_unlock(), hal_irql(), hal_raise_irql() and hal_lower_irql() so that they more closely resemble their Windows counterparts. The IRQL is determined by thread priority. - Make ntoskrnl_lock_dpc() and ntoskrnl_unlock_dpc() do what they do in Windows, which is to atomically set/clear the lock value. These routines are designed to be called from DISPATCH_LEVEL, and are actually half of the work involved in acquiring/releasing spinlocks. - Add FASTCALL1(), FASTCALL2() and FASTCALL3() macros/wrappers that allow us to call a _fastcall function in spite of the fact that our version of gcc doesn't support __attribute__((__fastcall__)) yet. The macros take 1, 2 or 3 arguments, respectively. We need to call hal_lock(), hal_unlock() etc... ourselves, but can't really invoke the function directly. I could have just made the underlying functions native routines and put _fastcall wrappers around them for the benefit of Windows binaries, but that would create needless bloat. - Remove ndis_mtxpool and all references to it. We don't need it anymore. - Re-implement the NdisSpinLock routines so that they use hal_lock() and friends like they do in Windows. - Use the new spinlock methods for handling lookaside lists and linked list updates in place of the mutex locks that were there before. - Remove mutex locking from ndis_isr() and ndis_intrhand() since they're already called with ndis_intrmtx held in if_ndis.c. - Put ndis_destroy_lock() code under explicit #ifdef notdef/#endif. It turns out there are some drivers which stupidly free the memory in which their spinlocks reside before calling ndis_destroy_lock() on them (touch-after-free bug). The ADMtek wireless driver is guilty of this faux pas. (Why this doesn't clobber Windows I have no idea.) - Make NdisDprAcquireSpinLock() and NdisDprReleaseSpinLock() into real functions instead of aliasing them to NdisAcaquireSpinLock() and NdisReleaseSpinLock(). The Dpr routines use KeAcquireSpinLockAtDpcLevel() level and KeReleaseSpinLockFromDpcLevel(), which acquires the lock without twiddling the IRQL. - In ndis_linksts_done(), do _not_ call ndis_80211_getstate(). Some drivers may call the status/status done callbacks as the result of setting an OID: ndis_80211_getstate() gets OIDs, which means we might cause the driver to recursively access some of its internal structures unexpectedly. The ndis_ticktask() routine will call ndis_80211_getstate() for us eventually anyway. - Fix the channel setting code a little in ndis_80211_setstate(), and initialize the channel to IEEE80211_CHAN_ANYC. (The Microsoft spec says you're not supposed to twiddle the channel in BSS mode; I may need to enforce this later.) This fixes the problems I was having with the ADMtek adm8211 driver: we were setting the channel to a non-standard default, which would cause it to fail to associate in BSS mode. - Use hal_raise_irql() to raise our IRQL to DISPATCH_LEVEL when calling certain miniport routines, per the Microsoft documentation. I think that's everything. Hopefully, other than fixing the ADMtek driver, there should be no apparent change in behavior.

Commit the first cut of Project Evil, also known as the NDISulator. Yes, it's what you think it is. Yes, you should run away now. This is a special compatibility module for allowing Windows NDIS miniport network drivers to be used with FreeBSD/x86. This provides _binary_ NDIS compatibility (not source): you can run NDIS driver code, but you can't build it. There are three main parts: sys/compat/ndis: the NDIS compat API, which provides binary compatibility functions for many routines in NDIS.SYS, HAL.dll and ntoskrnl.exe in Windows (these are the three modules that most NDIS miniport drivers use). The compat module also contains a small PE relocator/dynalinker which relocates the Windows .SYS image and then patches in our native routines. sys/dev/if_ndis: the if_ndis driver wrapper. This module makes use of the ndis compat API and can be compiled with a specially prepared binary image file (ndis_driver_data.h) containing the Windows .SYS image and registry key information parsed out of the accompanying .INF file. Once if_ndis.ko is built, it can be loaded and unloaded just like a native FreeBSD kenrel module. usr.sbin/ndiscvt: a special utility that converts foo.sys and foo.inf into an ndis_driver_data.h file that can be compiled into if_ndis.o. Contains an .inf file parser graciously provided by Matt Dodd (and mercilessly hacked upon by me) that strips out device ID info and registry key info from a .INF file and packages it up with a binary image array. The ndiscvt(8) utility also does some manipulation of the segments within the .sys file to make life easier for the kernel loader. (Doing the manipulation here saves the kernel code from having to move things around later, which would waste memory.) ndiscvt is only built for the i386 arch. Only files.i386 has been updated, and none of this is turned on in GENERIC. It should probably work on pc98. I have no idea about amd64 or ia64 at this point. This is still a work in progress. I estimate it's about %85 done, but I want it under CVS control so I can track subsequent changes. It has been tested with exactly three drivers: the LinkSys LNE100TX v4 driver (Lne100v4.sys), the sample Intel 82559 driver from the Windows DDK (e100bex.sys) and the Broadcom BCM43xx wireless driver (bcmwl5.sys). It still needs to have a net80211 stuff added to it. To use it, you would do something like this: # cd /sys/modules/ndis # make; make load # cd /sys/modules/if_ndis # ndiscvt -i /path/to/foo.inf -s /path/to/foo.sys -o ndis_driver_data.h # make; make load # sysctl -a | grep ndis All registry keys are mapped to sysctl nodes. Sometimes drivers refer to registry keys that aren't mentioned in foo.inf. If this happens, the NDIS API module creates sysctl nodes for these keys on the fly so you can tweak them. An example usage of the Broadcom wireless driver would be: # sysctl hw.ndis0.EnableAutoConnect=1 # sysctl hw.ndis0.SSID="MY_SSID" # sysctl hw.ndis0.NetworkType=0 (0 for bss, 1 for adhoc) # ifconfig ndis0 <my ipaddr> netmask 0xffffff00 up Things to be done: - get rid of debug messages - add in ndis80211 support - defer transmissions until after a status update with NDIS_STATUS_CONNECTED occurs - Create smarter lookaside list support - Split off if_ndis_pci.c and if_ndis_pccard.c attachments - Make sure PCMCIA support works - Fix ndiscvt to properly parse PCMCIA device IDs from INF files - write ndisapi.9 man page

When you call MiniportInitialize() for an 802.11 driver, it will at some point result in a status event being triggered (it should be a link down event: the Microsoft driver design guide says you should generate one when the NIC is initialized). Some drivers generate the event during MiniportInitialize(), such that by the time MiniportInitialize() completes, the NIC is ready to go. But some drivers, in particular the ones for Atheros wireless NICs, don't generate the event until after a device interrupt occurs at some point after MiniportInitialize() has completed. The gotcha is that you have to wait until the link status event occurs one way or the other before you try to fiddle with any settings (ssid, channel, etc...). For the drivers that set the event sycnhronously this isn't a problem, but for the others we have to pause after calling ndis_init_nic() and wait for the event to arrive before continuing. Failing to wait can cause big trouble: on my SMP system, calling ndis_setstate_80211() after ndis_init_nic() completes, but _before_ the link event arrives, will lock up or reset the system. What we do now is check to see if a link event arrived while ndis_init_nic() was running, and if it didn't we msleep() until it does. Along the way, I discovered a few other problems: - Defered procedure calls run at PASSIVE_LEVEL, not DISPATCH_LEVEL. ntoskrnl_run_dpc() has been fixed accordingly. (I read the documentation wrong.) - Similarly, the NDIS interrupt handler, which is essentially a DPC, also doesn't need to run at DISPATCH_LEVEL. ndis_intrtask() has been fixed accordingly. - MiniportQueryInformation() and MiniportSetInformation() run at DISPATCH_LEVEL, and each request must complete before another can be submitted. ndis_get_info() and ndis_set_info() have been fixed accordingly. - Turned the sleep lock that guards the NDIS thread job list into a spin lock. We never do anything with this lock held except manage the job list (no other locks are held), so it's safe to do this, and it's possible that ndis_sched() and ndis_unsched() can be called from DISPATCH_LEVEL, so using a sleep lock here is semantically incorrect. Also updated subr_witness.c to add the lock to the order list.

Finally bring an end to the great "make the Atheros NDIS driver work on SMP" saga. After several weeks and much gnashing of teeth, I have finally tracked down all the problems, despite their best efforts to confound and annoy me. Problem nunmber one: the Atheros windows driver is _NOT_ a de-serialized miniport! It used to be that NDIS drivers relied on the NDIS library itself for all their locking and serialization needs. Transmit packet queues were all handled internally by NDIS, and all calls to MiniportXXX() routines were guaranteed to be appropriately serialized. This proved to be a performance problem however, and Microsoft introduced de-serialized miniports with the NDIS 5.x spec. Microsoft still supports serialized miniports, but recommends that all new drivers written for Windows XP and later be deserialized. Apparently Atheros wasn't listening when they said this. This means (among other things) that we have to serialize calls to MiniportSendPackets(). We also have to serialize calls to MiniportTimer() that are triggered via the NdisMInitializeTimer() routine. It finally dawned on me why NdisMInitializeTimer() takes a special NDIS_MINIPORT_TIMER structure and a pointer to the miniport block: the timer callback must be serialized, and it's only by saving the miniport block handle that we can get access to the serialization lock during the timer callback. Problem number two: haunted hardware. The thing that was _really_ driving me absolutely bonkers for the longest time is that, for some reason I couldn't understand, my test machine would occasionally freeze or more frustratingly, reset completely. That's reset and in *pow!* back to the BIOS startup. No panic, no crashdump, just a reset. This appeared to happen most often when MiniportReset() was called. (As to why MiniportReset() was being called, see problem three below.) I thought maybe I had created some sort of horrible deadlock condition in the process of adding the serialization, but after three weeks, at least 6 different locking implementations and heroic efforts to debug the spinlock code, the machine still kept resetting. Finally, I started single stepping through the MiniportReset() routine in the driver using the kernel debugger, and this ultimately led me to the source of the problem. One of the last things the Atheros MiniportReset() routine does is call NdisReadPciSlotInformation() several times to inspect a portion of the device's PCI config space. It reads the same chunk of config space repeatedly, in rapid succession. Presumeably, it's polling the hardware for some sort of event. The reset occurs partway through this process. I discovered that when I single-stepped through this portion of the routine, the reset didn't occur. So I inserted a 1 microsecond delay into the read loop in NdisReadPciSlotInformation(). Suddenly, the reset was gone!! I'm still very puzzled by the whole thing. What I suspect is happening is that reading the PCI config space so quickly is causing a severe PCI bus error. My test system is a Sun w2100z dual Opteron system, and the NIC is a miniPCI card mounted in a miniPCI-to-PCI carrier card, plugged into a 100Mhz PCI slot. It's possible that this combination of hardware causes a bus protocol violation in this scenario which leads to a fatal machine check. This is pure speculation though. Really all I know for sure is that inserting the delay makes the problem go away. (To quote Homer Simpson: "I don't know how it works, but fire makes it good!") Problem number three: NdisAllocatePacket() needs to make sure to initialize the npp_validcounts field in the 'private' section of the NDIS_PACKET structure. The reason if_ndis was calling the MiniportReset() routine in the first place is that packet transmits were sometimes hanging. When sending a packet, an NDIS driver will call NdisQueryPacket() to learn how many physical buffers the packet resides in. NdisQueryPacket() is actually a macro, which traverses the NDIS_BUFFER list attached to the NDIS_PACKET and stashes some of the results in the 'private' section of the NDIS_PACKET. It also sets the npp_validcounts field to TRUE To indicate that the results are now valid. The problem is, now that if_ndis creates a pool of transmit packets via NdisAllocatePacketPool(), it's important that each time a new packet is allocated via NdisAllocatePacket() that validcounts be initialized to FALSE. If it isn't, and a previously transmitted NDIS_PACKET is pulled out of the pool, it may contain stale data from a previous transmission which won't get updated by NdisQueryPacket(). This would cause the driver to miscompute the number of fragments for a given packet, and botch the transmission. Fixing these three problems seems to make the Atheros driver happy on SMP, which hopefully means other serialized miniports will be happy too. And there was much rejoicing. Other stuff fixed along the way: - Modified ndis_thsuspend() to take a mutex as an argument. This allows KeWaitForSingleObject() and KeWaitForMultipleObjects() to avoid any possible race conditions with other routines that use the dispatcher lock. - Fixed KeCancelTimer() so that it returns the correct value for 'pending' according to the Microsoft documentation - Modfied NdisGetSystemUpTime() to use ticks and hz rather than calling nanouptime(). Also added comment that this routine wraps after 49.7 days. - Added macros for KeAcquireSpinLock()/KeReleaseSpinLock() to hide all the MSCALL() goop. - For x86, KeAcquireSpinLockRaiseToDpc() needs to be a separate function. This is because it's supposed to be _stdcall on the x86 arch, whereas KeAcquireSpinLock() is supposed to be _fastcall. On amd64, all routines use the same calling convention so we can just map KeAcquireSpinLockRaiseToDpc() directly to KfAcquireSpinLock() and it will work. (The _fastcall attribute is a no-op on amd64.) - Implement and use IoInitializeDpcRequest() and IoRequestDpc() (they're just macros) and use them for interrupt handling. This allows us to move the ndis_intrtask() routine from if_ndis.c to kern_ndis.c. - Fix the MmInitializeMdl() macro so that is uses sizeof(vm_offset_t) when computing mdl_size instead of uint32_t, so that it matches the MmSizeOfMdl() routine. - Change a could of M_WAITOKs to M_NOWAITs in the unicode routines in subr_ndis.c. - Use the dispatcher lock a little more consistently in subr_ntoskrnl.c. - Get rid of the "wait for link event" hack in ndis_init(). Now that I fixed NdisReadPciSlotInformation(), it seems I don't need it anymore. This should fix the witness panic a couple of people have reported. - Use MSCALL1() when calling the MiniportHangCheck() function in ndis_ticktask(). I accidentally missed this one when adding the wrapping for amd64.

Next step on the road to IRPs: create and use an imitation of the Windows DRIVER_OBJECT and DEVICE_OBJECT mechanism so that we can simulate driver stacking. In Windows, each loaded driver image is attached to a DRIVER_OBJECT structure. Windows uses the registry to match up a given vendor/device ID combination with a corresponding DRIVER_OBJECT. When a driver image is first loaded, its DriverEntry() routine is invoked, which sets up the AddDevice() function pointer in the DRIVER_OBJECT and creates a dispatch table (based on IRP major codes). When a Windows bus driver detects a new device, it creates a Physical Device Object (PDO) for it. This is a DEVICE_OBJECT structure, with semantics analagous to that of a device_t in FreeBSD. The Windows PNP manager will invoke the driver's AddDevice() function and pass it pointers to the DRIVER_OBJECT and the PDO. The AddDevice() function then creates a new DRIVER_OBJECT structure of its own. This is known as the Functional Device Object (FDO) and corresponds roughly to a private softc instance. The driver uses IoAttachDeviceToDeviceStack() to add this device object to the driver stack for this PDO. Subsequent drivers (called filter drivers in Windows-speak) can be loaded which add themselves to the stack. When someone issues an IRP to a device, it travel along the stack passing through several possible filter drivers until it reaches the functional driver (which actually knows how to talk to the hardware) at which point it will be completed. This is how Windows achieves driver layering. Project Evil now simulates most of this. if_ndis now has a modevent handler which will use MOD_LOAD and MOD_UNLOAD events to drive the creation and destruction of DRIVER_OBJECTs. (The load event also does the relocation/dynalinking of the image.) We don't have a registry, so the DRIVER_OBJECTS are stored in a linked list for now. Eventually, the list entry will contain the vendor/device ID list extracted from the .INF file. When ndis_probe() is called and detectes a supported device, it will create a PDO for the device instance and attach it to the DRIVER_OBJECT just as in Windows. ndis_attach() will then call our NdisAddDevice() handler to create the FDO. The NDIS miniport block is now a device extension hung off the FDO, just as it is in Windows. The miniport characteristics table is now an extension hung off the DRIVER_OBJECT as well (the characteristics are the same for all devices handled by a given driver, so they don't need to be per-instance.) We also do an IoAttachDeviceToDeviceStack() to put the FDO on the stack for the PDO. There are a couple of fake bus drivers created for the PCI and pccard buses. Eventually, there will be one for USB, which will actually accept USB IRP.s Things should still work just as before, only now we do things in the proper order and maintain the correct framework to support passing IRPs between drivers. Various changes: - corrected the comments about IRQL handling in subr_hal.c to more accurately reflect reality - update ndiscvt to make the drv_data symbol in ndis_driver_data.h a global so that if_ndis_pci.o and/or if_ndis_pccard.o can see it. - Obtain the softc pointer from the miniport block by referencing the PDO rather than a private pointer of our own (nmb_ifp is no longer used) - implement IoAttachDeviceToDeviceStack(), IoDetachDevice(), IoGetAttachedDevice(), IoAllocateDriverObjectExtension(), IoGetDriverObjectExtension(), IoCreateDevice(), IoDeleteDevice(), IoAllocateIrp(), IoReuseIrp(), IoMakeAssociatedIrp(), IoFreeIrp(), IoInitializeIrp() - fix a few mistakes in the driver_object and device_object definitions - add a new module, kern_windrv.c, to handle the driver registration and relocation/dynalinkign duties (which don't really belong in kern_ndis.c). - made ndis_block and ndis_chars in the ndis_softc stucture pointers and modified all references to it - fixed NdisMRegisterMiniport() and NdisInitializeWrapper() so they work correctly with the new driver_object mechanism - changed ndis_attach() to call NdisAddDevice() instead of ndis_load_driver() (which is now deprecated) - used ExAllocatePoolWithTag()/ExFreePool() in lookaside list routines instead of kludged up alloc/free routines - added kern_windrv.c to sys/modules/ndis/Makefile and files.i386.

Commit the first cut of Project Evil, also known as the NDISulator. Yes, it's what you think it is. Yes, you should run away now. This is a special compatibility module for allowing Windows NDIS miniport network drivers to be used with FreeBSD/x86. This provides _binary_ NDIS compatibility (not source): you can run NDIS driver code, but you can't build it. There are three main parts: sys/compat/ndis: the NDIS compat API, which provides binary compatibility functions for many routines in NDIS.SYS, HAL.dll and ntoskrnl.exe in Windows (these are the three modules that most NDIS miniport drivers use). The compat module also contains a small PE relocator/dynalinker which relocates the Windows .SYS image and then patches in our native routines. sys/dev/if_ndis: the if_ndis driver wrapper. This module makes use of the ndis compat API and can be compiled with a specially prepared binary image file (ndis_driver_data.h) containing the Windows .SYS image and registry key information parsed out of the accompanying .INF file. Once if_ndis.ko is built, it can be loaded and unloaded just like a native FreeBSD kenrel module. usr.sbin/ndiscvt: a special utility that converts foo.sys and foo.inf into an ndis_driver_data.h file that can be compiled into if_ndis.o. Contains an .inf file parser graciously provided by Matt Dodd (and mercilessly hacked upon by me) that strips out device ID info and registry key info from a .INF file and packages it up with a binary image array. The ndiscvt(8) utility also does some manipulation of the segments within the .sys file to make life easier for the kernel loader. (Doing the manipulation here saves the kernel code from having to move things around later, which would waste memory.) ndiscvt is only built for the i386 arch. Only files.i386 has been updated, and none of this is turned on in GENERIC. It should probably work on pc98. I have no idea about amd64 or ia64 at this point. This is still a work in progress. I estimate it's about %85 done, but I want it under CVS control so I can track subsequent changes. It has been tested with exactly three drivers: the LinkSys LNE100TX v4 driver (Lne100v4.sys), the sample Intel 82559 driver from the Windows DDK (e100bex.sys) and the Broadcom BCM43xx wireless driver (bcmwl5.sys). It still needs to have a net80211 stuff added to it. To use it, you would do something like this: # cd /sys/modules/ndis # make; make load # cd /sys/modules/if_ndis # ndiscvt -i /path/to/foo.inf -s /path/to/foo.sys -o ndis_driver_data.h # make; make load # sysctl -a | grep ndis All registry keys are mapped to sysctl nodes. Sometimes drivers refer to registry keys that aren't mentioned in foo.inf. If this happens, the NDIS API module creates sysctl nodes for these keys on the fly so you can tweak them. An example usage of the Broadcom wireless driver would be: # sysctl hw.ndis0.EnableAutoConnect=1 # sysctl hw.ndis0.SSID="MY_SSID" # sysctl hw.ndis0.NetworkType=0 (0 for bss, 1 for adhoc) # ifconfig ndis0 <my ipaddr> netmask 0xffffff00 up Things to be done: - get rid of debug messages - add in ndis80211 support - defer transmissions until after a status update with NDIS_STATUS_CONNECTED occurs - Create smarter lookaside list support - Split off if_ndis_pci.c and if_ndis_pccard.c attachments - Make sure PCMCIA support works - Fix ndiscvt to properly parse PCMCIA device IDs from INF files - write ndisapi.9 man page

Finally bring an end to the great "make the Atheros NDIS driver work on SMP" saga. After several weeks and much gnashing of teeth, I have finally tracked down all the problems, despite their best efforts to confound and annoy me. Problem nunmber one: the Atheros windows driver is _NOT_ a de-serialized miniport! It used to be that NDIS drivers relied on the NDIS library itself for all their locking and serialization needs. Transmit packet queues were all handled internally by NDIS, and all calls to MiniportXXX() routines were guaranteed to be appropriately serialized. This proved to be a performance problem however, and Microsoft introduced de-serialized miniports with the NDIS 5.x spec. Microsoft still supports serialized miniports, but recommends that all new drivers written for Windows XP and later be deserialized. Apparently Atheros wasn't listening when they said this. This means (among other things) that we have to serialize calls to MiniportSendPackets(). We also have to serialize calls to MiniportTimer() that are triggered via the NdisMInitializeTimer() routine. It finally dawned on me why NdisMInitializeTimer() takes a special NDIS_MINIPORT_TIMER structure and a pointer to the miniport block: the timer callback must be serialized, and it's only by saving the miniport block handle that we can get access to the serialization lock during the timer callback. Problem number two: haunted hardware. The thing that was _really_ driving me absolutely bonkers for the longest time is that, for some reason I couldn't understand, my test machine would occasionally freeze or more frustratingly, reset completely. That's reset and in *pow!* back to the BIOS startup. No panic, no crashdump, just a reset. This appeared to happen most often when MiniportReset() was called. (As to why MiniportReset() was being called, see problem three below.) I thought maybe I had created some sort of horrible deadlock condition in the process of adding the serialization, but after three weeks, at least 6 different locking implementations and heroic efforts to debug the spinlock code, the machine still kept resetting. Finally, I started single stepping through the MiniportReset() routine in the driver using the kernel debugger, and this ultimately led me to the source of the problem. One of the last things the Atheros MiniportReset() routine does is call NdisReadPciSlotInformation() several times to inspect a portion of the device's PCI config space. It reads the same chunk of config space repeatedly, in rapid succession. Presumeably, it's polling the hardware for some sort of event. The reset occurs partway through this process. I discovered that when I single-stepped through this portion of the routine, the reset didn't occur. So I inserted a 1 microsecond delay into the read loop in NdisReadPciSlotInformation(). Suddenly, the reset was gone!! I'm still very puzzled by the whole thing. What I suspect is happening is that reading the PCI config space so quickly is causing a severe PCI bus error. My test system is a Sun w2100z dual Opteron system, and the NIC is a miniPCI card mounted in a miniPCI-to-PCI carrier card, plugged into a 100Mhz PCI slot. It's possible that this combination of hardware causes a bus protocol violation in this scenario which leads to a fatal machine check. This is pure speculation though. Really all I know for sure is that inserting the delay makes the problem go away. (To quote Homer Simpson: "I don't know how it works, but fire makes it good!") Problem number three: NdisAllocatePacket() needs to make sure to initialize the npp_validcounts field in the 'private' section of the NDIS_PACKET structure. The reason if_ndis was calling the MiniportReset() routine in the first place is that packet transmits were sometimes hanging. When sending a packet, an NDIS driver will call NdisQueryPacket() to learn how many physical buffers the packet resides in. NdisQueryPacket() is actually a macro, which traverses the NDIS_BUFFER list attached to the NDIS_PACKET and stashes some of the results in the 'private' section of the NDIS_PACKET. It also sets the npp_validcounts field to TRUE To indicate that the results are now valid. The problem is, now that if_ndis creates a pool of transmit packets via NdisAllocatePacketPool(), it's important that each time a new packet is allocated via NdisAllocatePacket() that validcounts be initialized to FALSE. If it isn't, and a previously transmitted NDIS_PACKET is pulled out of the pool, it may contain stale data from a previous transmission which won't get updated by NdisQueryPacket(). This would cause the driver to miscompute the number of fragments for a given packet, and botch the transmission. Fixing these three problems seems to make the Atheros driver happy on SMP, which hopefully means other serialized miniports will be happy too. And there was much rejoicing. Other stuff fixed along the way: - Modified ndis_thsuspend() to take a mutex as an argument. This allows KeWaitForSingleObject() and KeWaitForMultipleObjects() to avoid any possible race conditions with other routines that use the dispatcher lock. - Fixed KeCancelTimer() so that it returns the correct value for 'pending' according to the Microsoft documentation - Modfied NdisGetSystemUpTime() to use ticks and hz rather than calling nanouptime(). Also added comment that this routine wraps after 49.7 days. - Added macros for KeAcquireSpinLock()/KeReleaseSpinLock() to hide all the MSCALL() goop. - For x86, KeAcquireSpinLockRaiseToDpc() needs to be a separate function. This is because it's supposed to be _stdcall on the x86 arch, whereas KeAcquireSpinLock() is supposed to be _fastcall. On amd64, all routines use the same calling convention so we can just map KeAcquireSpinLockRaiseToDpc() directly to KfAcquireSpinLock() and it will work. (The _fastcall attribute is a no-op on amd64.) - Implement and use IoInitializeDpcRequest() and IoRequestDpc() (they're just macros) and use them for interrupt handling. This allows us to move the ndis_intrtask() routine from if_ndis.c to kern_ndis.c. - Fix the MmInitializeMdl() macro so that is uses sizeof(vm_offset_t) when computing mdl_size instead of uint32_t, so that it matches the MmSizeOfMdl() routine. - Change a could of M_WAITOKs to M_NOWAITs in the unicode routines in subr_ndis.c. - Use the dispatcher lock a little more consistently in subr_ntoskrnl.c. - Get rid of the "wait for link event" hack in ndis_init(). Now that I fixed NdisReadPciSlotInformation(), it seems I don't need it anymore. This should fix the witness panic a couple of people have reported. - Use MSCALL1() when calling the MiniportHangCheck() function in ndis_ticktask(). I accidentally missed this one when adding the wrapping for amd64.

When you call MiniportInitialize() for an 802.11 driver, it will at some point result in a status event being triggered (it should be a link down event: the Microsoft driver design guide says you should generate one when the NIC is initialized). Some drivers generate the event during MiniportInitialize(), such that by the time MiniportInitialize() completes, the NIC is ready to go. But some drivers, in particular the ones for Atheros wireless NICs, don't generate the event until after a device interrupt occurs at some point after MiniportInitialize() has completed. The gotcha is that you have to wait until the link status event occurs one way or the other before you try to fiddle with any settings (ssid, channel, etc...). For the drivers that set the event sycnhronously this isn't a problem, but for the others we have to pause after calling ndis_init_nic() and wait for the event to arrive before continuing. Failing to wait can cause big trouble: on my SMP system, calling ndis_setstate_80211() after ndis_init_nic() completes, but _before_ the link event arrives, will lock up or reset the system. What we do now is check to see if a link event arrived while ndis_init_nic() was running, and if it didn't we msleep() until it does. Along the way, I discovered a few other problems: - Defered procedure calls run at PASSIVE_LEVEL, not DISPATCH_LEVEL. ntoskrnl_run_dpc() has been fixed accordingly. (I read the documentation wrong.) - Similarly, the NDIS interrupt handler, which is essentially a DPC, also doesn't need to run at DISPATCH_LEVEL. ndis_intrtask() has been fixed accordingly. - MiniportQueryInformation() and MiniportSetInformation() run at DISPATCH_LEVEL, and each request must complete before another can be submitted. ndis_get_info() and ndis_set_info() have been fixed accordingly. - Turned the sleep lock that guards the NDIS thread job list into a spin lock. We never do anything with this lock held except manage the job list (no other locks are held), so it's safe to do this, and it's possible that ndis_sched() and ndis_unsched() can be called from DISPATCH_LEVEL, so using a sleep lock here is semantically incorrect. Also updated subr_witness.c to add the lock to the order list.

Add support for Windows/x86-64 binaries to Project Evil. Ville-Pertti Keinonen (will at exomi dot comohmygodnospampleasekthx) deserves a big thanks for submitting initial patches to make it work. I have mangled his contributions appropriately. The main gotcha with Windows/x86-64 is that Microsoft uses a different calling convention than everyone else. The standard ABI requires using 6 registers for argument passing, with other arguments on the stack. Microsoft uses only 4 registers, and requires the caller to leave room on the stack for the register arguments incase the callee needs to spill them. Unlike x86, where Microsoft uses a mix of _cdecl, _stdcall and _fastcall, all routines on Windows/x86-64 uses the same convention. This unfortunately means that all the functions we export to the driver require an intermediate translation wrapper. Similarly, we have to wrap all calls back into the driver binary itself. The original patches provided macros to wrap every single routine at compile time, providing a secondary jump table with a customized wrapper for each exported routine. I decided to use a different approach: the call wrapper for each function is created from a template at runtime, and the routine to jump to is patched into the wrapper as it is created. The subr_pe module has been modified to patch in the wrapped function instead of the original. (On x86, the wrapping routine is a no-op.) There are some minor API differences that had to be accounted for: - KeAcquireSpinLock() is a real function on amd64, not a macro wrapper around KfAcquireSpinLock() - NdisFreeBuffer() is actually IoFreeMdl(). I had to change the whole NDIS_BUFFER API a bit to accomodate this. Bugs fixed along the way: - IoAllocateMdl() always returned NULL - kern_windrv.c:windrv_unload() wasn't releasing private driver object extensions correctly (found thanks to memguard) This has only been tested with the driver for the Broadcom 802.11g chipset, which was the only Windows/x86-64 driver I could find.

When a driver image is first loaded, its DriverEntry() routine is invoked, which sets up the AddDevice() function pointer in the DRIVER_OBJECT and creates a dispatch table (based on IRP major codes). When a Windows bus driver detects a new device, it creates a Physical Device Object (PDO) for it. This is a DEVICE_OBJECT structure, with semantics analagous to that of a device_t in FreeBSD. The Windows PNP manager will invoke the driver's AddDevice() function and pass it pointers to the DRIVER_OBJECT and the PDO. The AddDevice() function then creates a new DRIVER_OBJECT structure of its own. This is known as the Functional Device Object (FDO) and corresponds roughly to a private softc instance. The driver uses IoAttachDeviceToDeviceStack() to add this device object to the driver stack for this PDO. Subsequent drivers (called filter drivers in Windows-speak) can be loaded which add themselves to the stack. When someone issues an IRP to a device, it travel along the stack passing through several possible filter drivers until it reaches the functional driver (which actually knows how to talk to the hardware) at which point it will be completed. This is how Windows achieves driver layering. Project Evil now simulates most of this. if_ndis now has a modevent handler which will use MOD_LOAD and MOD_UNLOAD events to drive the creation and destruction of DRIVER_OBJECTs. (The load event also does the relocation/dynalinking of the image.) We don't have a registry, so the DRIVER_OBJECTS are stored in a linked list for now. Eventually, the list entry will contain the vendor/device ID list extracted from the .INF file. When ndis_probe() is called and detectes a supported device, it will create a PDO for the device instance and attach it to the DRIVER_OBJECT just as in Windows. ndis_attach() will then call our NdisAddDevice() handler to create the FDO. The NDIS miniport block is now a device extension hung off the FDO, just as it is in Windows. The miniport characteristics table is now an extension hung off the DRIVER_OBJECT as well (the characteristics are the same for all devices handled by a given driver, so they don't need to be per-instance.) We also do an IoAttachDeviceToDeviceStack() to put the FDO on the stack for the PDO. There are a couple of fake bus drivers created for the PCI and pccard buses. Eventually, there will be one for USB, which will actually accept USB IRP.s Things should still work just as before, only now we do things in the proper order and maintain the correct framework to support passing IRPs between drivers. Various changes: - corrected the comments about IRQL handling in subr_hal.c to more accurately reflect reality - update ndiscvt to make the drv_data symbol in ndis_driver_data.h a global so that if_ndis_pci.o and/or if_ndis_pccard.o can see it. - Obtain the softc pointer from the miniport block by referencing the PDO rather than a private pointer of our own (nmb_ifp is no longer used) - implement IoAttachDeviceToDeviceStack(), IoDetachDevice(), IoGetAttachedDevice(), IoAllocateDriverObjectExtension(), IoGetDriverObjectExtension(), IoCreateDevice(), IoDeleteDevice(), IoAllocateIrp(), IoReuseIrp(), IoMakeAssociatedIrp(), IoFreeIrp(), IoInitializeIrp() - fix a few mistakes in the driver_object and device_object definitions - add a new module, kern_windrv.c, to handle the driver registration and relocation/dynalinkign duties (which don't really belong in kern_ndis.c). - made ndis_block and ndis_chars in the ndis_softc stucture pointers and modified all references to it - fixed NdisMRegisterMiniport() and NdisInitializeWrapper() so they work correctly with the new driver_object mechanism - changed ndis_attach() to call NdisAddDevice() instead of ndis_load_driver() (which is now deprecated) - used ExAllocatePoolWithTag()/ExFreePool() in lookaside list routines instead of kludged up alloc/free routines - added kern_windrv.c to sys/modules/ndis/Makefile and files.i386.

Commit the first cut of Project Evil, also known as the NDISulator. Yes, it's what you think it is. Yes, you should run away now. This is a special compatibility module for allowing Windows NDIS miniport network drivers to be used with FreeBSD/x86. This provides _binary_ NDIS compatibility (not source): you can run NDIS driver code, but you can't build it. There are three main parts: sys/compat/ndis: the NDIS compat API, which provides binary compatibility functions for many routines in NDIS.SYS, HAL.dll and ntoskrnl.exe in Windows (these are the three modules that most NDIS miniport drivers use). The compat module also contains a small PE relocator/dynalinker which relocates the Windows .SYS image and then patches in our native routines. sys/dev/if_ndis: the if_ndis driver wrapper. This module makes use of the ndis compat API and can be compiled with a specially prepared binary image file (ndis_driver_data.h) containing the Windows .SYS image and registry key information parsed out of the accompanying .INF file. Once if_ndis.ko is built, it can be loaded and unloaded just like a native FreeBSD kenrel module. usr.sbin/ndiscvt: a special utility that converts foo.sys and foo.inf into an ndis_driver_data.h file that can be compiled into if_ndis.o. Contains an .inf file parser graciously provided by Matt Dodd (and mercilessly hacked upon by me) that strips out device ID info and registry key info from a .INF file and packages it up with a binary image array. The ndiscvt(8) utility also does some manipulation of the segments within the .sys file to make life easier for the kernel loader. (Doing the manipulation here saves the kernel code from having to move things around later, which would waste memory.) ndiscvt is only built for the i386 arch. Only files.i386 has been updated, and none of this is turned on in GENERIC. It should probably work on pc98. I have no idea about amd64 or ia64 at this point. This is still a work in progress. I estimate it's about %85 done, but I want it under CVS control so I can track subsequent changes. It has been tested with exactly three drivers: the LinkSys LNE100TX v4 driver (Lne100v4.sys), the sample Intel 82559 driver from the Windows DDK (e100bex.sys) and the Broadcom BCM43xx wireless driver (bcmwl5.sys). It still needs to have a net80211 stuff added to it. To use it, you would do something like this: # cd /sys/modules/ndis # make; make load # cd /sys/modules/if_ndis # ndiscvt -i /path/to/foo.inf -s /path/to/foo.sys -o ndis_driver_data.h # make; make load # sysctl -a | grep ndis All registry keys are mapped to sysctl nodes. Sometimes drivers refer to registry keys that aren't mentioned in foo.inf. If this happens, the NDIS API module creates sysctl nodes for these keys on the fly so you can tweak them. An example usage of the Broadcom wireless driver would be: # sysctl hw.ndis0.EnableAutoConnect=1 # sysctl hw.ndis0.SSID="MY_SSID" # sysctl hw.ndis0.NetworkType=0 (0 for bss, 1 for adhoc) # ifconfig ndis0 <my ipaddr> netmask 0xffffff00 up Things to be done: - get rid of debug messages - add in ndis80211 support - defer transmissions until after a status update with NDIS_STATUS_CONNECTED occurs - Create smarter lookaside list support - Split off if_ndis_pci.c and if_ndis_pccard.c attachments - Make sure PCMCIA support works - Fix ndiscvt to properly parse PCMCIA device IDs from INF files - write ndisapi.9 man page

Create new i386 windows/bsd thunking layer, similar to the amd64 thunking layer, but with a twist. The twist has to do with the fact that Microsoft supports structured exception handling in kernel mode. On the i386 arch, exception handling is implemented by hanging an exception registration list off the Thread Environment Block (TEB), and the TEB is accessed via the %fs register. The problem is, we use %fs as a pointer to the pcpu stucture, which means any driver that tries to write through %fs:0 will overwrite the curthread pointer and make a serious mess of things. To get around this, Project Evil now creates a special entry in the GDT on each processor. When we call into Windows code, a context switch routine will fix up %fs so it points to our new descriptor, which in turn points to a fake TEB. When the Windows code returns, or calls out to an external routine, we swap %fs back again. Currently, Project Evil makes use of GDT slot 7, which is all 0s by default. I fully expect someone to jump up and say I can't do that, but I couldn't find any code that makes use of this entry anywhere. Sadly, this was the only method I could come up with that worked on both UP and SMP. (Modifying the LDT works on UP, but becomes incredibly complicated on SMP.) If necessary, the context switching stuff can be yanked out while preserving the convention calling wrappers. (Fortunately, it looks like Microsoft uses some special epilog/prolog code on amd64 to implement exception handling, so the same nastiness won't be necessary on that arch.) The advantages are: - Any driver that uses %fs as though it were a TEB pointer won't clobber pcpu. - All the __stdcall/__fastcall/__regparm stuff that's specific to gcc goes away. Also, while I'm here, switch NdisGetSystemUpTime() back to using nanouptime() again. It turns out nanouptime() is way more accurate than just using ticks(). On slower machines, the Atheros drivers I tested seem to take a long time to associate due to the loss in accuracy.

When you call MiniportInitialize() for an 802.11 driver, it will at some point result in a status event being triggered (it should be a link down event: the Microsoft driver design guide says you should generate one when the NIC is initialized). Some drivers generate the event during MiniportInitialize(), such that by the time MiniportInitialize() completes, the NIC is ready to go. But some drivers, in particular the ones for Atheros wireless NICs, don't generate the event until after a device interrupt occurs at some point after MiniportInitialize() has completed. The gotcha is that you have to wait until the link status event occurs one way or the other before you try to fiddle with any settings (ssid, channel, etc...). For the drivers that set the event sycnhronously this isn't a problem, but for the others we have to pause after calling ndis_init_nic() and wait for the event to arrive before continuing. Failing to wait can cause big trouble: on my SMP system, calling ndis_setstate_80211() after ndis_init_nic() completes, but _before_ the link event arrives, will lock up or reset the system. What we do now is check to see if a link event arrived while ndis_init_nic() was running, and if it didn't we msleep() until it does. Along the way, I discovered a few other problems: - Defered procedure calls run at PASSIVE_LEVEL, not DISPATCH_LEVEL. ntoskrnl_run_dpc() has been fixed accordingly. (I read the documentation wrong.) - Similarly, the NDIS interrupt handler, which is essentially a DPC, also doesn't need to run at DISPATCH_LEVEL. ndis_intrtask() has been fixed accordingly. - MiniportQueryInformation() and MiniportSetInformation() run at DISPATCH_LEVEL, and each request must complete before another can be submitted. ndis_get_info() and ndis_set_info() have been fixed accordingly. - Turned the sleep lock that guards the NDIS thread job list into a spin lock. We never do anything with this lock held except manage the job list (no other locks are held), so it's safe to do this, and it's possible that ndis_sched() and ndis_unsched() can be called from DISPATCH_LEVEL, so using a sleep lock here is semantically incorrect. Also updated subr_witness.c to add the lock to the order list.

Finally bring an end to the great "make the Atheros NDIS driver work on SMP" saga. After several weeks and much gnashing of teeth, I have finally tracked down all the problems, despite their best efforts to confound and annoy me. Problem nunmber one: the Atheros windows driver is _NOT_ a de-serialized miniport! It used to be that NDIS drivers relied on the NDIS library itself for all their locking and serialization needs. Transmit packet queues were all handled internally by NDIS, and all calls to MiniportXXX() routines were guaranteed to be appropriately serialized. This proved to be a performance problem however, and Microsoft introduced de-serialized miniports with the NDIS 5.x spec. Microsoft still supports serialized miniports, but recommends that all new drivers written for Windows XP and later be deserialized. Apparently Atheros wasn't listening when they said this. This means (among other things) that we have to serialize calls to MiniportSendPackets(). We also have to serialize calls to MiniportTimer() that are triggered via the NdisMInitializeTimer() routine. It finally dawned on me why NdisMInitializeTimer() takes a special NDIS_MINIPORT_TIMER structure and a pointer to the miniport block: the timer callback must be serialized, and it's only by saving the miniport block handle that we can get access to the serialization lock during the timer callback. Problem number two: haunted hardware. The thing that was _really_ driving me absolutely bonkers for the longest time is that, for some reason I couldn't understand, my test machine would occasionally freeze or more frustratingly, reset completely. That's reset and in *pow!* back to the BIOS startup. No panic, no crashdump, just a reset. This appeared to happen most often when MiniportReset() was called. (As to why MiniportReset() was being called, see problem three below.) I thought maybe I had created some sort of horrible deadlock condition in the process of adding the serialization, but after three weeks, at least 6 different locking implementations and heroic efforts to debug the spinlock code, the machine still kept resetting. Finally, I started single stepping through the MiniportReset() routine in the driver using the kernel debugger, and this ultimately led me to the source of the problem. One of the last things the Atheros MiniportReset() routine does is call NdisReadPciSlotInformation() several times to inspect a portion of the device's PCI config space. It reads the same chunk of config space repeatedly, in rapid succession. Presumeably, it's polling the hardware for some sort of event. The reset occurs partway through this process. I discovered that when I single-stepped through this portion of the routine, the reset didn't occur. So I inserted a 1 microsecond delay into the read loop in NdisReadPciSlotInformation(). Suddenly, the reset was gone!! I'm still very puzzled by the whole thing. What I suspect is happening is that reading the PCI config space so quickly is causing a severe PCI bus error. My test system is a Sun w2100z dual Opteron system, and the NIC is a miniPCI card mounted in a miniPCI-to-PCI carrier card, plugged into a 100Mhz PCI slot. It's possible that this combination of hardware causes a bus protocol violation in this scenario which leads to a fatal machine check. This is pure speculation though. Really all I know for sure is that inserting the delay makes the problem go away. (To quote Homer Simpson: "I don't know how it works, but fire makes it good!") Problem number three: NdisAllocatePacket() needs to make sure to initialize the npp_validcounts field in the 'private' section of the NDIS_PACKET structure. The reason if_ndis was calling the MiniportReset() routine in the first place is that packet transmits were sometimes hanging. When sending a packet, an NDIS driver will call NdisQueryPacket() to learn how many physical buffers the packet resides in. NdisQueryPacket() is actually a macro, which traverses the NDIS_BUFFER list attached to the NDIS_PACKET and stashes some of the results in the 'private' section of the NDIS_PACKET. It also sets the npp_validcounts field to TRUE To indicate that the results are now valid. The problem is, now that if_ndis creates a pool of transmit packets via NdisAllocatePacketPool(), it's important that each time a new packet is allocated via NdisAllocatePacket() that validcounts be initialized to FALSE. If it isn't, and a previously transmitted NDIS_PACKET is pulled out of the pool, it may contain stale data from a previous transmission which won't get updated by NdisQueryPacket(). This would cause the driver to miscompute the number of fragments for a given packet, and botch the transmission. Fixing these three problems seems to make the Atheros driver happy on SMP, which hopefully means other serialized miniports will be happy too. And there was much rejoicing. Other stuff fixed along the way: - Modified ndis_thsuspend() to take a mutex as an argument. This allows KeWaitForSingleObject() and KeWaitForMultipleObjects() to avoid any possible race conditions with other routines that use the dispatcher lock. - Fixed KeCancelTimer() so that it returns the correct value for 'pending' according to the Microsoft documentation - Modfied NdisGetSystemUpTime() to use ticks and hz rather than calling nanouptime(). Also added comment that this routine wraps after 49.7 days. - Added macros for KeAcquireSpinLock()/KeReleaseSpinLock() to hide all the MSCALL() goop. - For x86, KeAcquireSpinLockRaiseToDpc() needs to be a separate function. This is because it's supposed to be _stdcall on the x86 arch, whereas KeAcquireSpinLock() is supposed to be _fastcall. On amd64, all routines use the same calling convention so we can just map KeAcquireSpinLockRaiseToDpc() directly to KfAcquireSpinLock() and it will work. (The _fastcall attribute is a no-op on amd64.) - Implement and use IoInitializeDpcRequest() and IoRequestDpc() (they're just macros) and use them for interrupt handling. This allows us to move the ndis_intrtask() routine from if_ndis.c to kern_ndis.c. - Fix the MmInitializeMdl() macro so that is uses sizeof(vm_offset_t) when computing mdl_size instead of uint32_t, so that it matches the MmSizeOfMdl() routine. - Change a could of M_WAITOKs to M_NOWAITs in the unicode routines in subr_ndis.c. - Use the dispatcher lock a little more consistently in subr_ntoskrnl.c. - Get rid of the "wait for link event" hack in ndis_init(). Now that I fixed NdisReadPciSlotInformation(), it seems I don't need it anymore. This should fix the witness panic a couple of people have reported. - Use MSCALL1() when calling the MiniportHangCheck() function in ndis_ticktask(). I accidentally missed this one when adding the wrapping for amd64.

When you call MiniportInitialize() for an 802.11 driver, it will at some point result in a status event being triggered (it should be a link down event: the Microsoft driver design guide says you should generate one when the NIC is initialized). Some drivers generate the event during MiniportInitialize(), such that by the time MiniportInitialize() completes, the NIC is ready to go. But some drivers, in particular the ones for Atheros wireless NICs, don't generate the event until after a device interrupt occurs at some point after MiniportInitialize() has completed. The gotcha is that you have to wait until the link status event occurs one way or the other before you try to fiddle with any settings (ssid, channel, etc...).

Add support for Windows/x86-64 binaries to Project Evil. Ville-Pertti Keinonen (will at exomi dot comohmygodnospampleasekthx) deserves a big thanks for submitting initial patches to make it work. I have mangled his contributions appropriately. The main gotcha with Windows/x86-64 is that Microsoft uses a different calling convention than everyone else. The standard ABI requires using 6 registers for argument passing, with other arguments on the stack. Microsoft uses only 4 registers, and requires the caller to leave room on the stack for the register arguments incase the callee needs to spill them. Unlike x86, where Microsoft uses a mix of _cdecl, _stdcall and _fastcall, all routines on Windows/x86-64 uses the same convention. This unfortunately means that all the functions we export to the driver require an intermediate translation wrapper. Similarly, we have to wrap all calls back into the driver binary itself. The original patches provided macros to wrap every single routine at compile time, providing a secondary jump table with a customized wrapper for each exported routine. I decided to use a different approach: the call wrapper for each function is created from a template at runtime, and the routine to jump to is patched into the wrapper as it is created. The subr_pe module has been modified to patch in the wrapped function instead of the original. (On x86, the wrapping routine is a no-op.) There are some minor API differences that had to be accounted for: - KeAcquireSpinLock() is a real function on amd64, not a macro wrapper around KfAcquireSpinLock() - NdisFreeBuffer() is actually IoFreeMdl(). I had to change the whole NDIS_BUFFER API a bit to accomodate this. Bugs fixed along the way: - IoAllocateMdl() always returned NULL - kern_windrv.c:windrv_unload() wasn't releasing private driver object extensions correctly (found thanks to memguard) This has only been tested with the driver for the Broadcom 802.11g chipset, which was the only Windows/x86-64 driver I could find.

Commit the first cut of Project Evil, also known as the NDISulator. Yes, it's what you think it is. Yes, you should run away now. This is a special compatibility module for allowing Windows NDIS miniport network drivers to be used with FreeBSD/x86. This provides _binary_ NDIS compatibility (not source): you can run NDIS driver code, but you can't build it. There are three main parts: sys/compat/ndis: the NDIS compat API, which provides binary compatibility functions for many routines in NDIS.SYS, HAL.dll and ntoskrnl.exe in Windows (these are the three modules that most NDIS miniport drivers use). The compat module also contains a small PE relocator/dynalinker which relocates the Windows .SYS image and then patches in our native routines. sys/dev/if_ndis: the if_ndis driver wrapper. This module makes use of the ndis compat API and can be compiled with a specially prepared binary image file (ndis_driver_data.h) containing the Windows .SYS image and registry key information parsed out of the accompanying .INF file. Once if_ndis.ko is built, it can be loaded and unloaded just like a native FreeBSD kenrel module. usr.sbin/ndiscvt: a special utility that converts foo.sys and foo.inf into an ndis_driver_data.h file that can be compiled into if_ndis.o. Contains an .inf file parser graciously provided by Matt Dodd (and mercilessly hacked upon by me) that strips out device ID info and registry key info from a .INF file and packages it up with a binary image array. The ndiscvt(8) utility also does some manipulation of the segments within the .sys file to make life easier for the kernel loader. (Doing the manipulation here saves the kernel code from having to move things around later, which would waste memory.) ndiscvt is only built for the i386 arch. Only files.i386 has been updated, and none of this is turned on in GENERIC. It should probably work on pc98. I have no idea about amd64 or ia64 at this point. This is still a work in progress. I estimate it's about %85 done, but I want it under CVS control so I can track subsequent changes. It has been tested with exactly three drivers: the LinkSys LNE100TX v4 driver (Lne100v4.sys), the sample Intel 82559 driver from the Windows DDK (e100bex.sys) and the Broadcom BCM43xx wireless driver (bcmwl5.sys). It still needs to have a net80211 stuff added to it. To use it, you would do something like this: # cd /sys/modules/ndis # make; make load # cd /sys/modules/if_ndis # ndiscvt -i /path/to/foo.inf -s /path/to/foo.sys -o ndis_driver_data.h # make; make load # sysctl -a | grep ndis All registry keys are mapped to sysctl nodes. Sometimes drivers refer to registry keys that aren't mentioned in foo.inf. If this happens, the NDIS API module creates sysctl nodes for these keys on the fly so you can tweak them. An example usage of the Broadcom wireless driver would be: # sysctl hw.ndis0.EnableAutoConnect=1 # sysctl hw.ndis0.SSID="MY_SSID" # sysctl hw.ndis0.NetworkType=0 (0 for bss, 1 for adhoc) # ifconfig ndis0 <my ipaddr> netmask 0xffffff00 up Things to be done: - get rid of debug messages - add in ndis80211 support - defer transmissions until after a status update with NDIS_STATUS_CONNECTED occurs - Create smarter lookaside list support - Split off if_ndis_pci.c and if_ndis_pccard.c attachments - Make sure PCMCIA support works - Fix ndiscvt to properly parse PCMCIA device IDs from INF files - write ndisapi.9 man page

This should fix the witness panic a couple of people have reported. - Use MSCALL1() when calling the MiniportHangCheck() function in ndis_ticktask(). I accidentally missed this one when adding the wrapping for amd64.

Commit the first cut of Project Evil, also known as the NDISulator. Yes, it's what you think it is. Yes, you should run away now. This is a special compatibility module for allowing Windows NDIS miniport network drivers to be used with FreeBSD/x86. This provides _binary_ NDIS compatibility (not source): you can run NDIS driver code, but you can't build it. There are three main parts: sys/compat/ndis: the NDIS compat API, which provides binary compatibility functions for many routines in NDIS.SYS, HAL.dll and ntoskrnl.exe in Windows (these are the three modules that most NDIS miniport drivers use). The compat module also contains a small PE relocator/dynalinker which relocates the Windows .SYS image and then patches in our native routines. sys/dev/if_ndis: the if_ndis driver wrapper. This module makes use of the ndis compat API and can be compiled with a specially prepared binary image file (ndis_driver_data.h) containing the Windows .SYS image and registry key information parsed out of the accompanying .INF file. Once if_ndis.ko is built, it can be loaded and unloaded just like a native FreeBSD kenrel module. usr.sbin/ndiscvt: a special utility that converts foo.sys and foo.inf into an ndis_driver_data.h file that can be compiled into if_ndis.o. Contains an .inf file parser graciously provided by Matt Dodd (and mercilessly hacked upon by me) that strips out device ID info and registry key info from a .INF file and packages it up with a binary image array. The ndiscvt(8) utility also does some manipulation of the segments within the .sys file to make life easier for the kernel loader. (Doing the manipulation here saves the kernel code from having to move things around later, which would waste memory.) ndiscvt is only built for the i386 arch. Only files.i386 has been updated, and none of this is turned on in GENERIC. It should probably work on pc98. I have no idea about amd64 or ia64 at this point. This is still a work in progress. I estimate it's about %85 done, but I want it under CVS control so I can track subsequent changes. It has been tested with exactly three drivers: the LinkSys LNE100TX v4 driver (Lne100v4.sys), the sample Intel 82559 driver from the Windows DDK (e100bex.sys) and the Broadcom BCM43xx wireless driver (bcmwl5.sys). It still needs to have a net80211 stuff added to it. To use it, you would do something like this: # cd /sys/modules/ndis # make; make load # cd /sys/modules/if_ndis # ndiscvt -i /path/to/foo.inf -s /path/to/foo.sys -o ndis_driver_data.h # make; make load # sysctl -a | grep ndis All registry keys are mapped to sysctl nodes. Sometimes drivers refer to registry keys that aren't mentioned in foo.inf. If this happens, the NDIS API module creates sysctl nodes for these keys on the fly so you can tweak them. An example usage of the Broadcom wireless driver would be: # sysctl hw.ndis0.EnableAutoConnect=1 # sysctl hw.ndis0.SSID="MY_SSID" # sysctl hw.ndis0.NetworkType=0 (0 for bss, 1 for adhoc) # ifconfig ndis0 <my ipaddr> netmask 0xffffff00 up Things to be done: - get rid of debug messages - add in ndis80211 support - defer transmissions until after a status update with NDIS_STATUS_CONNECTED occurs - Create smarter lookaside list support - Split off if_ndis_pci.c and if_ndis_pccard.c attachments - Make sure PCMCIA support works - Fix ndiscvt to properly parse PCMCIA device IDs from INF files - write ndisapi.9 man page

Create new i386 windows/bsd thunking layer, similar to the amd64 thunking layer, but with a twist. The twist has to do with the fact that Microsoft supports structured exception handling in kernel mode. On the i386 arch, exception handling is implemented by hanging an exception registration list off the Thread Environment Block (TEB), and the TEB is accessed via the %fs register. The problem is, we use %fs as a pointer to the pcpu stucture, which means any driver that tries to write through %fs:0 will overwrite the curthread pointer and make a serious mess of things. To get around this, Project Evil now creates a special entry in the GDT on each processor. When we call into Windows code, a context switch routine will fix up %fs so it points to our new descriptor, which in turn points to a fake TEB. When the Windows code returns, or calls out to an external routine, we swap %fs back again. Currently, Project Evil makes use of GDT slot 7, which is all 0s by default. I fully expect someone to jump up and say I can't do that, but I couldn't find any code that makes use of this entry anywhere. Sadly, this was the only method I could come up with that worked on both UP and SMP. (Modifying the LDT works on UP, but becomes incredibly complicated on SMP.) If necessary, the context switching stuff can be yanked out while preserving the convention calling wrappers. (Fortunately, it looks like Microsoft uses some special epilog/prolog code on amd64 to implement exception handling, so the same nastiness won't be necessary on that arch.) The advantages are: - Any driver that uses %fs as though it were a TEB pointer won't clobber pcpu. - All the __stdcall/__fastcall/__regparm stuff that's specific to gcc goes away. Also, while I'm here, switch NdisGetSystemUpTime() back to using nanouptime() again. It turns out nanouptime() is way more accurate than just using ticks(). On slower machines, the Atheros drivers I tested seem to take a long time to associate due to the loss in accuracy.

Next step on the road to IRPs: create and use an imitation of the Windows DRIVER_OBJECT and DEVICE_OBJECT mechanism so that we can simulate driver stacking. In Windows, each loaded driver image is attached to a DRIVER_OBJECT structure. Windows uses the registry to match up a given vendor/device ID combination with a corresponding DRIVER_OBJECT. When a driver image is first loaded, its DriverEntry() routine is invoked, which sets up the AddDevice() function pointer in the DRIVER_OBJECT and creates a dispatch table (based on IRP major codes). When a Windows bus driver detects a new device, it creates a Physical Device Object (PDO) for it. This is a DEVICE_OBJECT structure, with semantics analagous to that of a device_t in FreeBSD. The Windows PNP manager will invoke the driver's AddDevice() function and pass it pointers to the DRIVER_OBJECT and the PDO. The AddDevice() function then creates a new DRIVER_OBJECT structure of its own. This is known as the Functional Device Object (FDO) and corresponds roughly to a private softc instance. The driver uses IoAttachDeviceToDeviceStack() to add this device object to the driver stack for this PDO. Subsequent drivers (called filter drivers in Windows-speak) can be loaded which add themselves to the stack. When someone issues an IRP to a device, it travel along the stack passing through several possible filter drivers until it reaches the functional driver (which actually knows how to talk to the hardware) at which point it will be completed. This is how Windows achieves driver layering. Project Evil now simulates most of this. if_ndis now has a modevent handler which will use MOD_LOAD and MOD_UNLOAD events to drive the creation and destruction of DRIVER_OBJECTs. (The load event also does the relocation/dynalinking of the image.) We don't have a registry, so the DRIVER_OBJECTS are stored in a linked list for now. Eventually, the list entry will contain the vendor/device ID list extracted from the .INF file. When ndis_probe() is called and detectes a supported device, it will create a PDO for the device instance and attach it to the DRIVER_OBJECT just as in Windows. ndis_attach() will then call our NdisAddDevice() handler to create the FDO. The NDIS miniport block is now a device extension hung off the FDO, just as it is in Windows. The miniport characteristics table is now an extension hung off the DRIVER_OBJECT as well (the characteristics are the same for all devices handled by a given driver, so they don't need to be per-instance.) We also do an IoAttachDeviceToDeviceStack() to put the FDO on the stack for the PDO. There are a couple of fake bus drivers created for the PCI and pccard buses. Eventually, there will be one for USB, which will actually accept USB IRP.s Things should still work just as before, only now we do things in the proper order and maintain the correct framework to support passing IRPs between drivers. Various changes: - corrected the comments about IRQL handling in subr_hal.c to more accurately reflect reality - update ndiscvt to make the drv_data symbol in ndis_driver_data.h a global so that if_ndis_pci.o and/or if_ndis_pccard.o can see it. - Obtain the softc pointer from the miniport block by referencing the PDO rather than a private pointer of our own (nmb_ifp is no longer used) - implement IoAttachDeviceToDeviceStack(), IoDetachDevice(), IoGetAttachedDevice(), IoAllocateDriverObjectExtension(), IoGetDriverObjectExtension(), IoCreateDevice(), IoDeleteDevice(), IoAllocateIrp(), IoReuseIrp(), IoMakeAssociatedIrp(), IoFreeIrp(), IoInitializeIrp() - fix a few mistakes in the driver_object and device_object definitions - add a new module, kern_windrv.c, to handle the driver registration and relocation/dynalinkign duties (which don't really belong in kern_ndis.c). - made ndis_block and ndis_chars in the ndis_softc stucture pointers and modified all references to it - fixed NdisMRegisterMiniport() and NdisInitializeWrapper() so they work correctly with the new driver_object mechanism - changed ndis_attach() to call NdisAddDevice() instead of ndis_load_driver() (which is now deprecated) - used ExAllocatePoolWithTag()/ExFreePool() in lookaside list routines instead of kludged up alloc/free routines - added kern_windrv.c to sys/modules/ndis/Makefile and files.i386.

Finally bring an end to the great "make the Atheros NDIS driver work on SMP" saga. After several weeks and much gnashing of teeth, I have finally tracked down all the problems, despite their best efforts to confound and annoy me. Problem nunmber one: the Atheros windows driver is _NOT_ a de-serialized miniport! It used to be that NDIS drivers relied on the NDIS library itself for all their locking and serialization needs. Transmit packet queues were all handled internally by NDIS, and all calls to MiniportXXX() routines were guaranteed to be appropriately serialized. This proved to be a performance problem however, and Microsoft introduced de-serialized miniports with the NDIS 5.x spec. Microsoft still supports serialized miniports, but recommends that all new drivers written for Windows XP and later be deserialized. Apparently Atheros wasn't listening when they said this. This means (among other things) that we have to serialize calls to MiniportSendPackets(). We also have to serialize calls to MiniportTimer() that are triggered via the NdisMInitializeTimer() routine. It finally dawned on me why NdisMInitializeTimer() takes a special NDIS_MINIPORT_TIMER structure and a pointer to the miniport block: the timer callback must be serialized, and it's only by saving the miniport block handle that we can get access to the serialization lock during the timer callback. Problem number two: haunted hardware. The thing that was _really_ driving me absolutely bonkers for the longest time is that, for some reason I couldn't understand, my test machine would occasionally freeze or more frustratingly, reset completely. That's reset and in *pow!* back to the BIOS startup. No panic, no crashdump, just a reset. This appeared to happen most often when MiniportReset() was called. (As to why MiniportReset() was being called, see problem three below.) I thought maybe I had created some sort of horrible deadlock condition in the process of adding the serialization, but after three weeks, at least 6 different locking implementations and heroic efforts to debug the spinlock code, the machine still kept resetting. Finally, I started single stepping through the MiniportReset() routine in the driver using the kernel debugger, and this ultimately led me to the source of the problem. One of the last things the Atheros MiniportReset() routine does is call NdisReadPciSlotInformation() several times to inspect a portion of the device's PCI config space. It reads the same chunk of config space repeatedly, in rapid succession. Presumeably, it's polling the hardware for some sort of event. The reset occurs partway through this process. I discovered that when I single-stepped through this portion of the routine, the reset didn't occur. So I inserted a 1 microsecond delay into the read loop in NdisReadPciSlotInformation(). Suddenly, the reset was gone!! I'm still very puzzled by the whole thing. What I suspect is happening is that reading the PCI config space so quickly is causing a severe PCI bus error. My test system is a Sun w2100z dual Opteron system, and the NIC is a miniPCI card mounted in a miniPCI-to-PCI carrier card, plugged into a 100Mhz PCI slot. It's possible that this combination of hardware causes a bus protocol violation in this scenario which leads to a fatal machine check. This is pure speculation though. Really all I know for sure is that inserting the delay makes the problem go away. (To quote Homer Simpson: "I don't know how it works, but fire makes it good!") Problem number three: NdisAllocatePacket() needs to make sure to initialize the npp_validcounts field in the 'private' section of the NDIS_PACKET structure. The reason if_ndis was calling the MiniportReset() routine in the first place is that packet transmits were sometimes hanging. When sending a packet, an NDIS driver will call NdisQueryPacket() to learn how many physical buffers the packet resides in. NdisQueryPacket() is actually a macro, which traverses the NDIS_BUFFER list attached to the NDIS_PACKET and stashes some of the results in the 'private' section of the NDIS_PACKET. It also sets the npp_validcounts field to TRUE To indicate that the results are now valid. The problem is, now that if_ndis creates a pool of transmit packets via NdisAllocatePacketPool(), it's important that each time a new packet is allocated via NdisAllocatePacket() that validcounts be initialized to FALSE. If it isn't, and a previously transmitted NDIS_PACKET is pulled out of the pool, it may contain stale data from a previous transmission which won't get updated by NdisQueryPacket(). This would cause the driver to miscompute the number of fragments for a given packet, and botch the transmission. Fixing these three problems seems to make the Atheros driver happy on SMP, which hopefully means other serialized miniports will be happy too. And there was much rejoicing. Other stuff fixed along the way: - Modified ndis_thsuspend() to take a mutex as an argument. This allows KeWaitForSingleObject() and KeWaitForMultipleObjects() to avoid any possible race conditions with other routines that use the dispatcher lock. - Fixed KeCancelTimer() so that it returns the correct value for 'pending' according to the Microsoft documentation - Modfied NdisGetSystemUpTime() to use ticks and hz rather than calling nanouptime(). Also added comment that this routine wraps after 49.7 days. - Added macros for KeAcquireSpinLock()/KeReleaseSpinLock() to hide all the MSCALL() goop. - For x86, KeAcquireSpinLockRaiseToDpc() needs to be a separate function. This is because it's supposed to be _stdcall on the x86 arch, whereas KeAcquireSpinLock() is supposed to be _fastcall. On amd64, all routines use the same calling convention so we can just map KeAcquireSpinLockRaiseToDpc() directly to KfAcquireSpinLock() and it will work. (The _fastcall attribute is a no-op on amd64.) - Implement and use IoInitializeDpcRequest() and IoRequestDpc() (they're just macros) and use them for interrupt handling. This allows us to move the ndis_intrtask() routine from if_ndis.c to kern_ndis.c. - Fix the MmInitializeMdl() macro so that is uses sizeof(vm_offset_t) when computing mdl_size instead of uint32_t, so that it matches the MmSizeOfMdl() routine. - Change a could of M_WAITOKs to M_NOWAITs in the unicode routines in subr_ndis.c. - Use the dispatcher lock a little more consistently in subr_ntoskrnl.c. - Get rid of the "wait for link event" hack in ndis_init(). Now that I fixed NdisReadPciSlotInformation(), it seems I don't need it anymore. This should fix the witness panic a couple of people have reported. - Use MSCALL1() when calling the MiniportHangCheck() function in ndis_ticktask(). I accidentally missed this one when adding the wrapping for amd64.

When you call MiniportInitialize() for an 802.11 driver, it will at some point result in a status event being triggered (it should be a link down event: the Microsoft driver design guide says you should generate one when the NIC is initialized). Some drivers generate the event during MiniportInitialize(), such that by the time MiniportInitialize() completes, the NIC is ready to go. But some drivers, in particular the ones for Atheros wireless NICs, don't generate the event until after a device interrupt occurs at some point after MiniportInitialize() has completed. The gotcha is that you have to wait until the link status event occurs one way or the other before you try to fiddle with any settings (ssid, channel, etc...). For the drivers that set the event sycnhronously this isn't a problem, but for the others we have to pause after calling ndis_init_nic() and wait for the event to arrive before continuing. Failing to wait can cause big trouble: on my SMP system, calling ndis_setstate_80211() after ndis_init_nic() completes, but _before_ the link event arrives, will lock up or reset the system. What we do now is check to see if a link event arrived while ndis_init_nic() was running, and if it didn't we msleep() until it does. Along the way, I discovered a few other problems: - Defered procedure calls run at PASSIVE_LEVEL, not DISPATCH_LEVEL. ntoskrnl_run_dpc() has been fixed accordingly. (I read the documentation wrong.) - Similarly, the NDIS interrupt handler, which is essentially a DPC, also doesn't need to run at DISPATCH_LEVEL. ndis_intrtask() has been fixed accordingly. - MiniportQueryInformation() and MiniportSetInformation() run at DISPATCH_LEVEL, and each request must complete before another can be submitted. ndis_get_info() and ndis_set_info() have been fixed accordingly. - Turned the sleep lock that guards the NDIS thread job list into a spin lock. We never do anything with this lock held except manage the job list (no other locks are held), so it's safe to do this, and it's possible that ndis_sched() and ndis_unsched() can be called from DISPATCH_LEVEL, so using a sleep lock here is semantically incorrect. Also updated subr_witness.c to add the lock to the order list.

Add support for Windows/x86-64 binaries to Project Evil. Ville-Pertti Keinonen (will at exomi dot comohmygodnospampleasekthx) deserves a big thanks for submitting initial patches to make it work. I have mangled his contributions appropriately. The main gotcha with Windows/x86-64 is that Microsoft uses a different calling convention than everyone else. The standard ABI requires using 6 registers for argument passing, with other arguments on the stack. Microsoft uses only 4 registers, and requires the caller to leave room on the stack for the register arguments incase the callee needs to spill them. Unlike x86, where Microsoft uses a mix of _cdecl, _stdcall and _fastcall, all routines on Windows/x86-64 uses the same convention. This unfortunately means that all the functions we export to the driver require an intermediate translation wrapper. Similarly, we have to wrap all calls back into the driver binary itself. The original patches provided macros to wrap every single routine at compile time, providing a secondary jump table with a customized wrapper for each exported routine. I decided to use a different approach: the call wrapper for each function is created from a template at runtime, and the routine to jump to is patched into the wrapper as it is created. The subr_pe module has been modified to patch in the wrapped function instead of the original. (On x86, the wrapping routine is a no-op.) There are some minor API differences that had to be accounted for: - KeAcquireSpinLock() is a real function on amd64, not a macro wrapper around KfAcquireSpinLock() - NdisFreeBuffer() is actually IoFreeMdl(). I had to change the whole NDIS_BUFFER API a bit to accomodate this. Bugs fixed along the way: - IoAllocateMdl() always returned NULL - kern_windrv.c:windrv_unload() wasn't releasing private driver object extensions correctly (found thanks to memguard) This has only been tested with the driver for the Broadcom 802.11g chipset, which was the only Windows/x86-64 driver I could find.

Also added comment that this routine wraps after 49.7 days. - Added macros for KeAcquireSpinLock()/KeReleaseSpinLock() to hide all the MSCALL() goop. - For x86, KeAcquireSpinLockRaiseToDpc() needs to be a separate function. This is because it's supposed to be _stdcall on the x86 arch, whereas KeAcquireSpinLock() is supposed to be _fastcall. On amd64, all routines use the same calling convention so we can just map KeAcquireSpinLockRaiseToDpc() directly to KfAcquireSpinLock() and it will work. (The _fastcall attribute is a no-op on amd64.) - Implement and use IoInitializeDpcRequest() and IoRequestDpc() (they're just macros) and use them for interrupt handling. This allows us to move the ndis_intrtask() routine from if_ndis.c to kern_ndis.c. - Fix the MmInitializeMdl() macro so that is uses sizeof(vm_offset_t) when computing mdl_size instead of uint32_t, so that it matches the MmSizeOfMdl() routine. - Change a could of M_WAITOKs to M_NOWAITs in the unicode routines in subr_ndis.c. - Use the dispatcher lock a little more consistently in subr_ntoskrnl.c. - Get rid of the "wait for link event" hack in ndis_init(). Now that I fixed NdisReadPciSlotInformation(), it seems I don't need it anymore. This should fix the witness panic a couple of people have reported. - Use MSCALL1() when calling the MiniportHangCheck() function in ndis_ticktask(). I accidentally missed this one when adding the wrapping for amd64.

Finally bring an end to the great "make the Atheros NDIS driver work on SMP" saga. After several weeks and much gnashing of teeth, I have finally tracked down all the problems, despite their best efforts to confound and annoy me. Problem nunmber one: the Atheros windows driver is _NOT_ a de-serialized miniport! It used to be that NDIS drivers relied on the NDIS library itself for all their locking and serialization needs. Transmit packet queues were all handled internally by NDIS, and all calls to MiniportXXX() routines were guaranteed to be appropriately serialized. This proved to be a performance problem however, and Microsoft introduced de-serialized miniports with the NDIS 5.x spec. Microsoft still supports serialized miniports, but recommends that all new drivers written for Windows XP and later be deserialized. Apparently Atheros wasn't listening when they said this. This means (among other things) that we have to serialize calls to MiniportSendPackets(). We also have to serialize calls to MiniportTimer() that are triggered via the NdisMInitializeTimer() routine. It finally dawned on me why NdisMInitializeTimer() takes a special NDIS_MINIPORT_TIMER structure and a pointer to the miniport block: the timer callback must be serialized, and it's only by saving the miniport block handle that we can get access to the serialization lock during the timer callback. Problem number two: haunted hardware. The thing that was _really_ driving me absolutely bonkers for the longest time is that, for some reason I couldn't understand, my test machine would occasionally freeze or more frustratingly, reset completely. That's reset and in *pow!* back to the BIOS startup. No panic, no crashdump, just a reset. This appeared to happen most often when MiniportReset() was called. (As to why MiniportReset() was being called, see problem three below.) I thought maybe I had created some sort of horrible deadlock condition in the process of adding the serialization, but after three weeks, at least 6 different locking implementations and heroic efforts to debug the spinlock code, the machine still kept resetting. Finally, I started single stepping through the MiniportReset() routine in the driver using the kernel debugger, and this ultimately led me to the source of the problem. One of the last things the Atheros MiniportReset() routine does is call NdisReadPciSlotInformation() several times to inspect a portion of the device's PCI config space. It reads the same chunk of config space repeatedly, in rapid succession. Presumeably, it's polling the hardware for some sort of event. The reset occurs partway through this process. I discovered that when I single-stepped through this portion of the routine, the reset didn't occur. So I inserted a 1 microsecond delay into the read loop in NdisReadPciSlotInformation(). Suddenly, the reset was gone!! I'm still very puzzled by the whole thing. What I suspect is happening is that reading the PCI config space so quickly is causing a severe PCI bus error. My test system is a Sun w2100z dual Opteron system, and the NIC is a miniPCI card mounted in a miniPCI-to-PCI carrier card, plugged into a 100Mhz PCI slot. It's possible that this combination of hardware causes a bus protocol violation in this scenario which leads to a fatal machine check. This is pure speculation though. Really all I know for sure is that inserting the delay makes the problem go away. (To quote Homer Simpson: "I don't know how it works, but fire makes it good!") Problem number three: NdisAllocatePacket() needs to make sure to initialize the npp_validcounts field in the 'private' section of the NDIS_PACKET structure. The reason if_ndis was calling the MiniportReset() routine in the first place is that packet transmits were sometimes hanging. When sending a packet, an NDIS driver will call NdisQueryPacket() to learn how many physical buffers the packet resides in. NdisQueryPacket() is actually a macro, which traverses the NDIS_BUFFER list attached to the NDIS_PACKET and stashes some of the results in the 'private' section of the NDIS_PACKET. It also sets the npp_validcounts field to TRUE To indicate that the results are now valid. The problem is, now that if_ndis creates a pool of transmit packets via NdisAllocatePacketPool(), it's important that each time a new packet is allocated via NdisAllocatePacket() that validcounts be initialized to FALSE. If it isn't, and a previously transmitted NDIS_PACKET is pulled out of the pool, it may contain stale data from a previous transmission which won't get updated by NdisQueryPacket(). This would cause the driver to miscompute the number of fragments for a given packet, and botch the transmission. Fixing these three problems seems to make the Atheros driver happy on SMP, which hopefully means other serialized miniports will be happy too. And there was much rejoicing. Other stuff fixed along the way: - Modified ndis_thsuspend() to take a mutex as an argument. This allows KeWaitForSingleObject() and KeWaitForMultipleObjects() to avoid any possible race conditions with other routines that use the dispatcher lock. - Fixed KeCancelTimer() so that it returns the correct value for 'pending' according to the Microsoft documentation - Modfied NdisGetSystemUpTime() to use ticks and hz rather than calling nanouptime().

On amd64, all routines use the same calling convention so we can just map KeAcquireSpinLockRaiseToDpc() directly to KfAcquireSpinLock() and it will work.

Add support for Windows/x86-64 binaries to Project Evil. Ville-Pertti Keinonen (will at exomi dot comohmygodnospampleasekthx) deserves a big thanks for submitting initial patches to make it work. I have mangled his contributions appropriately. The main gotcha with Windows/x86-64 is that Microsoft uses a different calling convention than everyone else. The standard ABI requires using 6 registers for argument passing, with other arguments on the stack. Microsoft uses only 4 registers, and requires the caller to leave room on the stack for the register arguments incase the callee needs to spill them. Unlike x86, where Microsoft uses a mix of _cdecl, _stdcall and _fastcall, all routines on Windows/x86-64 uses the same convention. This unfortunately means that all the functions we export to the driver require an intermediate translation wrapper. Similarly, we have to wrap all calls back into the driver binary itself. The original patches provided macros to wrap every single routine at compile time, providing a secondary jump table with a customized wrapper for each exported routine. I decided to use a different approach: the call wrapper for each function is created from a template at runtime, and the routine to jump to is patched into the wrapper as it is created. The subr_pe module has been modified to patch in the wrapped function instead of the original. (On x86, the wrapping routine is a no-op.) There are some minor API differences that had to be accounted for: - KeAcquireSpinLock() is a real function on amd64, not a macro wrapper around KfAcquireSpinLock() - NdisFreeBuffer() is actually IoFreeMdl(). I had to change the whole NDIS_BUFFER API a bit to accomodate this. Bugs fixed along the way: - IoAllocateMdl() always returned NULL - kern_windrv.c:windrv_unload() wasn't releasing private driver object extensions correctly (found thanks to memguard) This has only been tested with the driver for the Broadcom 802.11g chipset, which was the only Windows/x86-64 driver I could find.

Commit the first cut of Project Evil, also known as the NDISulator. Yes, it's what you think it is. Yes, you should run away now. This is a special compatibility module for allowing Windows NDIS miniport network drivers to be used with FreeBSD/x86. This provides _binary_ NDIS compatibility (not source): you can run NDIS driver code, but you can't build it. There are three main parts: sys/compat/ndis: the NDIS compat API, which provides binary compatibility functions for many routines in NDIS.SYS, HAL.dll and ntoskrnl.exe in Windows (these are the three modules that most NDIS miniport drivers use). The compat module also contains a small PE relocator/dynalinker which relocates the Windows .SYS image and then patches in our native routines. sys/dev/if_ndis: the if_ndis driver wrapper. This module makes use of the ndis compat API and can be compiled with a specially prepared binary image file (ndis_driver_data.h) containing the Windows .SYS image and registry key information parsed out of the accompanying .INF file. Once if_ndis.ko is built, it can be loaded and unloaded just like a native FreeBSD kenrel module. usr.sbin/ndiscvt: a special utility that converts foo.sys and foo.inf into an ndis_driver_data.h file that can be compiled into if_ndis.o. Contains an .inf file parser graciously provided by Matt Dodd (and mercilessly hacked upon by me) that strips out device ID info and registry key info from a .INF file and packages it up with a binary image array. The ndiscvt(8) utility also does some manipulation of the segments within the .sys file to make life easier for the kernel loader. (Doing the manipulation here saves the kernel code from having to move things around later, which would waste memory.) ndiscvt is only built for the i386 arch. Only files.i386 has been updated, and none of this is turned on in GENERIC. It should probably work on pc98. I have no idea about amd64 or ia64 at this point. This is still a work in progress. I estimate it's about %85 done, but I want it under CVS control so I can track subsequent changes. It has been tested with exactly three drivers: the LinkSys LNE100TX v4 driver (Lne100v4.sys), the sample Intel 82559 driver from the Windows DDK (e100bex.sys) and the Broadcom BCM43xx wireless driver (bcmwl5.sys). It still needs to have a net80211 stuff added to it. To use it, you would do something like this: # cd /sys/modules/ndis # make; make load # cd /sys/modules/if_ndis # ndiscvt -i /path/to/foo.inf -s /path/to/foo.sys -o ndis_driver_data.h # make; make load # sysctl -a | grep ndis All registry keys are mapped to sysctl nodes. Sometimes drivers refer to registry keys that aren't mentioned in foo.inf. If this happens, the NDIS API module creates sysctl nodes for these keys on the fly so you can tweak them. An example usage of the Broadcom wireless driver would be: # sysctl hw.ndis0.EnableAutoConnect=1 # sysctl hw.ndis0.SSID="MY_SSID" # sysctl hw.ndis0.NetworkType=0 (0 for bss, 1 for adhoc) # ifconfig ndis0 <my ipaddr> netmask 0xffffff00 up Things to be done: - get rid of debug messages - add in ndis80211 support - defer transmissions until after a status update with NDIS_STATUS_CONNECTED occurs - Create smarter lookaside list support - Split off if_ndis_pci.c and if_ndis_pccard.c attachments - Make sure PCMCIA support works - Fix ndiscvt to properly parse PCMCIA device IDs from INF files - write ndisapi.9 man page

Create new i386 windows/bsd thunking layer, similar to the amd64 thunking layer, but with a twist. The twist has to do with the fact that Microsoft supports structured exception handling in kernel mode. On the i386 arch, exception handling is implemented by hanging an exception registration list off the Thread Environment Block (TEB), and the TEB is accessed via the %fs register. The problem is, we use %fs as a pointer to the pcpu stucture, which means any driver that tries to write through %fs:0 will overwrite the curthread pointer and make a serious mess of things. To get around this, Project Evil now creates a special entry in the GDT on each processor. When we call into Windows code, a context switch routine will fix up %fs so it points to our new descriptor, which in turn points to a fake TEB. When the Windows code returns, or calls out to an external routine, we swap %fs back again. Currently, Project Evil makes use of GDT slot 7, which is all 0s by default. I fully expect someone to jump up and say I can't do that, but I couldn't find any code that makes use of this entry anywhere. Sadly, this was the only method I could come up with that worked on both UP and SMP. (Modifying the LDT works on UP, but becomes incredibly complicated on SMP.) If necessary, the context switching stuff can be yanked out while preserving the convention calling wrappers. (Fortunately, it looks like Microsoft uses some special epilog/prolog code on amd64 to implement exception handling, so the same nastiness won't be necessary on that arch.) The advantages are: - Any driver that uses %fs as though it were a TEB pointer won't clobber pcpu. - All the __stdcall/__fastcall/__regparm stuff that's specific to gcc goes away. Also, while I'm here, switch NdisGetSystemUpTime() back to using nanouptime() again. It turns out nanouptime() is way more accurate than just using ticks(). On slower machines, the Atheros drivers I tested seem to take a long time to associate due to the loss in accuracy.

Commit the first cut of Project Evil, also known as the NDISulator. Yes, it's what you think it is. Yes, you should run away now. This is a special compatibility module for allowing Windows NDIS miniport network drivers to be used with FreeBSD/x86. This provides _binary_ NDIS compatibility (not source): you can run NDIS driver code, but you can't build it. There are three main parts: sys/compat/ndis: the NDIS compat API, which provides binary compatibility functions for many routines in NDIS.SYS, HAL.dll and ntoskrnl.exe in Windows (these are the three modules that most NDIS miniport drivers use). The compat module also contains a small PE relocator/dynalinker which relocates the Windows .SYS image and then patches in our native routines. sys/dev/if_ndis: the if_ndis driver wrapper. This module makes use of the ndis compat API and can be compiled with a specially prepared binary image file (ndis_driver_data.h) containing the Windows .SYS image and registry key information parsed out of the accompanying .INF file. Once if_ndis.ko is built, it can be loaded and unloaded just like a native FreeBSD kenrel module. usr.sbin/ndiscvt: a special utility that converts foo.sys and foo.inf into an ndis_driver_data.h file that can be compiled into if_ndis.o. Contains an .inf file parser graciously provided by Matt Dodd (and mercilessly hacked upon by me) that strips out device ID info and registry key info from a .INF file and packages it up with a binary image array. The ndiscvt(8) utility also does some manipulation of the segments within the .sys file to make life easier for the kernel loader. (Doing the manipulation here saves the kernel code from having to move things around later, which would waste memory.) ndiscvt is only built for the i386 arch. Only files.i386 has been updated, and none of this is turned on in GENERIC. It should probably work on pc98. I have no idea about amd64 or ia64 at this point. This is still a work in progress. I estimate it's about %85 done, but I want it under CVS control so I can track subsequent changes. It has been tested with exactly three drivers: the LinkSys LNE100TX v4 driver (Lne100v4.sys), the sample Intel 82559 driver from the Windows DDK (e100bex.sys) and the Broadcom BCM43xx wireless driver (bcmwl5.sys). It still needs to have a net80211 stuff added to it. To use it, you would do something like this: # cd /sys/modules/ndis # make; make load # cd /sys/modules/if_ndis # ndiscvt -i /path/to/foo.inf -s /path/to/foo.sys -o ndis_driver_data.h # make; make load # sysctl -a | grep ndis All registry keys are mapped to sysctl nodes. Sometimes drivers refer to registry keys that aren't mentioned in foo.inf. If this happens, the NDIS API module creates sysctl nodes for these keys on the fly so you can tweak them. An example usage of the Broadcom wireless driver would be: # sysctl hw.ndis0.EnableAutoConnect=1 # sysctl hw.ndis0.SSID="MY_SSID" # sysctl hw.ndis0.NetworkType=0 (0 for bss, 1 for adhoc) # ifconfig ndis0 <my ipaddr> netmask 0xffffff00 up Things to be done: - get rid of debug messages - add in ndis80211 support - defer transmissions until after a status update with NDIS_STATUS_CONNECTED occurs - Create smarter lookaside list support - Split off if_ndis_pci.c and if_ndis_pccard.c attachments - Make sure PCMCIA support works - Fix ndiscvt to properly parse PCMCIA device IDs from INF files - write ndisapi.9 man page

- The MiniportReset() function can return NDIS_STATUS_PENDING, in which case we should wait for the resetdone handler to be called before returning. - When providing resources via ndis_query_resources(), uses the computed rsclen when using bcopy() to copy out the resource data rather than the caller-supplied buffer length. - Avoid using ndis_reset_nic() in if_ndis.c unless we really need to reset the NIC because of a problem. - Allow interrupts to be fielded during ndis_attach(), at least as far as allowing ndis_isr() and ndis_intrhand() to run. - Use ndis_80211_rates_ex when probing for supported rates. Technically, this isn't supposed to work since, although Microsoft added the extended rate structure with the NDIS 5.1 update, the spec still says that the OID_802_11_SUPPORTED_RATES OID uses ndis_80211_rates. In spite of this, it appears some drivers use it anyway. - When adding in our guessed rates, check to see if they already exist so that we avoid any duplicates. - Add a printf() to ndis_open_file() that alerts the user when a driver attempts to open a file under /compat/ndis. With these changes, I can get the driver for the SMC 2802W 54g PCI card to load and run. This board uses a Prism54G chip. Note that in order for this driver to work, you must place the supplied smc2802w.arm firmware image under /compat/ndis. (The firmware is not resident on the device.) Note that this should also allow the 3Com 3CRWE154G72 card to work as well; as far as I can tell, these cards also use a Prism54G chip.

When you call MiniportInitialize() for an 802.11 driver, it will at some point result in a status event being triggered (it should be a link down event: the Microsoft driver design guide says you should generate one when the NIC is initialized). Some drivers generate the event during MiniportInitialize(), such that by the time MiniportInitialize() completes, the NIC is ready to go. But some drivers, in particular the ones for Atheros wireless NICs, don't generate the event until after a device interrupt occurs at some point after MiniportInitialize() has completed. The gotcha is that you have to wait until the link status event occurs one way or the other before you try to fiddle with any settings (ssid, channel, etc...). For the drivers that set the event sycnhronously this isn't a problem, but for the others we have to pause after calling ndis_init_nic() and wait for the event to arrive before continuing. Failing to wait can cause big trouble: on my SMP system, calling ndis_setstate_80211() after ndis_init_nic() completes, but _before_ the link event arrives, will lock up or reset the system. What we do now is check to see if a link event arrived while ndis_init_nic() was running, and if it didn't we msleep() until it does. Along the way, I discovered a few other problems: - Defered procedure calls run at PASSIVE_LEVEL, not DISPATCH_LEVEL. ntoskrnl_run_dpc() has been fixed accordingly. (I read the documentation wrong.) - Similarly, the NDIS interrupt handler, which is essentially a DPC, also doesn't need to run at DISPATCH_LEVEL. ndis_intrtask() has been fixed accordingly. - MiniportQueryInformation() and MiniportSetInformation() run at DISPATCH_LEVEL, and each request must complete before another can be submitted. ndis_get_info() and ndis_set_info() have been fixed accordingly. - Turned the sleep lock that guards the NDIS thread job list into a spin lock. We never do anything with this lock held except manage the job list (no other locks are held), so it's safe to do this, and it's possible that ndis_sched() and ndis_unsched() can be called from DISPATCH_LEVEL, so using a sleep lock here is semantically incorrect. Also updated subr_witness.c to add the lock to the order list.

NDIS_LOCK(sc);
Next step on the road to IRPs: create and use an imitation of the Windows DRIVER_OBJECT and DEVICE_OBJECT mechanism so that we can simulate driver stacking. In Windows, each loaded driver image is attached to a DRIVER_OBJECT structure. Windows uses the registry to match up a given vendor/device ID combination with a corresponding DRIVER_OBJECT. When a driver image is first loaded, its DriverEntry() routine is invoked, which sets up the AddDevice() function pointer in the DRIVER_OBJECT and creates a dispatch table (based on IRP major codes). When a Windows bus driver detects a new device, it creates a Physical Device Object (PDO) for it. This is a DEVICE_OBJECT structure, with semantics analagous to that of a device_t in FreeBSD. The Windows PNP manager will invoke the driver's AddDevice() function and pass it pointers to the DRIVER_OBJECT and the PDO. The AddDevice() function then creates a new DRIVER_OBJECT structure of its own. This is known as the Functional Device Object (FDO) and corresponds roughly to a private softc instance. The driver uses IoAttachDeviceToDeviceStack() to add this device object to the driver stack for this PDO. Subsequent drivers (called filter drivers in Windows-speak) can be loaded which add themselves to the stack. When someone issues an IRP to a device, it travel along the stack passing through several possible filter drivers until it reaches the functional driver (which actually knows how to talk to the hardware) at which point it will be completed. This is how Windows achieves driver layering. Project Evil now simulates most of this. if_ndis now has a modevent handler which will use MOD_LOAD and MOD_UNLOAD events to drive the creation and destruction of DRIVER_OBJECTs. (The load event also does the relocation/dynalinking of the image.) We don't have a registry, so the DRIVER_OBJECTS are stored in a linked list for now. Eventually, the list entry will contain the vendor/device ID list extracted from the .INF file. When ndis_probe() is called and detectes a supported device, it will create a PDO for the device instance and attach it to the DRIVER_OBJECT just as in Windows. ndis_attach() will then call our NdisAddDevice() handler to create the FDO. The NDIS miniport block is now a device extension hung off the FDO, just as it is in Windows. The miniport characteristics table is now an extension hung off the DRIVER_OBJECT as well (the characteristics are the same for all devices handled by a given driver, so they don't need to be per-instance.) We also do an IoAttachDeviceToDeviceStack() to put the FDO on the stack for the PDO. There are a couple of fake bus drivers created for the PCI and pccard buses. Eventually, there will be one for USB, which will actually accept USB IRP.s Things should still work just as before, only now we do things in the proper order and maintain the correct framework to support passing IRPs between drivers. Various changes: - corrected the comments about IRQL handling in subr_hal.c to more accurately reflect reality - update ndiscvt to make the drv_data symbol in ndis_driver_data.h a global so that if_ndis_pci.o and/or if_ndis_pccard.o can see it. - Obtain the softc pointer from the miniport block by referencing the PDO rather than a private pointer of our own (nmb_ifp is no longer used) - implement IoAttachDeviceToDeviceStack(), IoDetachDevice(), IoGetAttachedDevice(), IoAllocateDriverObjectExtension(), IoGetDriverObjectExtension(), IoCreateDevice(), IoDeleteDevice(), IoAllocateIrp(), IoReuseIrp(), IoMakeAssociatedIrp(), IoFreeIrp(), IoInitializeIrp() - fix a few mistakes in the driver_object and device_object definitions - add a new module, kern_windrv.c, to handle the driver registration and relocation/dynalinkign duties (which don't really belong in kern_ndis.c). - made ndis_block and ndis_chars in the ndis_softc stucture pointers and modified all references to it - fixed NdisMRegisterMiniport() and NdisInitializeWrapper() so they work correctly with the new driver_object mechanism - changed ndis_attach() to call NdisAddDevice() instead of ndis_load_driver() (which is now deprecated) - used ExAllocatePoolWithTag()/ExFreePool() in lookaside list routines instead of kludged up alloc/free routines - added kern_windrv.c to sys/modules/ndis/Makefile and files.i386.

This commit makes a bunch of changes, some big, some not so big. - Remove the old task threads from kern_ndis.c and reimplement them in subr_ntoskrnl.c, in order to more properly emulate the Windows DPC API. Each CPU gets its own DPC queue/thread, and each queue can have low, medium and high importance DPCs. New APIs implemented: KeSetTargetProcessorDpc(), KeSetImportanceDpc() and KeFlushQueuedDpcs(). (This is the biggest change.) - Fix a bug in NdisMInitializeTimer(): the k_dpc pointer in the nmt_timer embedded in the ndis_miniport_timer struct must be set to point to the DPC, also embedded in the struct. Failing to do this breaks dequeueing of DPCs submitted via timers, and in turn breaks cancelling timers. - Fix a bug in KeCancelTimer(): if the timer is interted in the timer queue (i.e. the timeout callback is still pending), we have to both untimeout() the timer _and_ call KeRemoveQueueDpc() to nuke the DPC that might be pending. Failing to do this breaks cancellation of periodic timers, which always appear to be inserted in the timer queue. - Make use of the nmt_nexttimer field in ndis_miniport_timer: keep a queue of pending timers and cancel them all in ndis_halt_nic(), prior to calling MiniportHalt(). Also call KeFlushQueuedDpcs() to make sure any DPCs queued by the timers have expired. - Modify NdisMAllocateSharedMemory() and NdisMFreeSharedMemory() to keep track of both the virtual and physical addresses of the shared memory buffers that get handed out. The AirGo MIMO driver appears to have a bug in it: for one of the segments is allocates, it returns the wrong virtual address. This would confuse NdisMFreeSharedMemory() and cause a crash. Why it doesn't crash Windows too I have no idea (from reading the documentation for NdisMFreeSharedMemory(), it appears to be a violation of the API). - Implement strstr(), strchr() and MmIsAddressValid(). - Implement IoAllocateWorkItem(), IoFreeWorkItem(), IoQueueWorkItem() and ExQueueWorkItem(). (This is the second biggest change.) - Make NdisScheduleWorkItem() call ExQueueWorkItem(). (Note that the ExQueueWorkItem() API is deprecated by Microsoft, but NDIS still uses it, since NdisScheduleWorkItem() is incompatible with the IoXXXWorkItem() API.) - Change if_ndis.c to use the NdisScheduleWorkItem() interface for scheduling tasks. With all these changes and fixes, the AirGo MIMO driver for the Belkin F5D8010 Pre-N card now works. Special thanks to Paul Robinson (paul dawt robinson at pwermedia dawt net) for the loan of a card for testing.

KeResetEvent(&sc->ndis_block->nmb_resetevent);
Finally bring an end to the great "make the Atheros NDIS driver work on SMP" saga. After several weeks and much gnashing of teeth, I have finally tracked down all the problems, despite their best efforts to confound and annoy me. Problem nunmber one: the Atheros windows driver is _NOT_ a de-serialized miniport! It used to be that NDIS drivers relied on the NDIS library itself for all their locking and serialization needs. Transmit packet queues were all handled internally by NDIS, and all calls to MiniportXXX() routines were guaranteed to be appropriately serialized. This proved to be a performance problem however, and Microsoft introduced de-serialized miniports with the NDIS 5.x spec. Microsoft still supports serialized miniports, but recommends that all new drivers written for Windows XP and later be deserialized. Apparently Atheros wasn't listening when they said this. This means (among other things) that we have to serialize calls to MiniportSendPackets(). We also have to serialize calls to MiniportTimer() that are triggered via the NdisMInitializeTimer() routine. It finally dawned on me why NdisMInitializeTimer() takes a special NDIS_MINIPORT_TIMER structure and a pointer to the miniport block: the timer callback must be serialized, and it's only by saving the miniport block handle that we can get access to the serialization lock during the timer callback. Problem number two: haunted hardware. The thing that was _really_ driving me absolutely bonkers for the longest time is that, for some reason I couldn't understand, my test machine would occasionally freeze or more frustratingly, reset completely. That's reset and in *pow!* back to the BIOS startup. No panic, no crashdump, just a reset. This appeared to happen most often when MiniportReset() was called. (As to why MiniportReset() was being called, see problem three below.) I thought maybe I had created some sort of horrible deadlock condition in the process of adding the serialization, but after three weeks, at least 6 different locking implementations and heroic efforts to debug the spinlock code, the machine still kept resetting. Finally, I started single stepping through the MiniportReset() routine in the driver using the kernel debugger, and this ultimately led me to the source of the problem. One of the last things the Atheros MiniportReset() routine does is call NdisReadPciSlotInformation() several times to inspect a portion of the device's PCI config space. It reads the same chunk of config space repeatedly, in rapid succession. Presumeably, it's polling the hardware for some sort of event. The reset occurs partway through this process. I discovered that when I single-stepped through this portion of the routine, the reset didn't occur. So I inserted a 1 microsecond delay into the read loop in NdisReadPciSlotInformation(). Suddenly, the reset was gone!! I'm still very puzzled by the whole thing. What I suspect is happening is that reading the PCI config space so quickly is causing a severe PCI bus error. My test system is a Sun w2100z dual Opteron system, and the NIC is a miniPCI card mounted in a miniPCI-to-PCI carrier card, plugged into a 100Mhz PCI slot. It's possible that this combination of hardware causes a bus protocol violation in this scenario which leads to a fatal machine check. This is pure speculation though. Really all I know for sure is that inserting the delay makes the problem go away. (To quote Homer Simpson: "I don't know how it works, but fire makes it good!") Problem number three: NdisAllocatePacket() needs to make sure to initialize the npp_validcounts field in the 'private' section of the NDIS_PACKET structure. The reason if_ndis was calling the MiniportReset() routine in the first place is that packet transmits were sometimes hanging. When sending a packet, an NDIS driver will call NdisQueryPacket() to learn how many physical buffers the packet resides in. NdisQueryPacket() is actually a macro, which traverses the NDIS_BUFFER list attached to the NDIS_PACKET and stashes some of the results in the 'private' section of the NDIS_PACKET. It also sets the npp_validcounts field to TRUE To indicate that the results are now valid. The problem is, now that if_ndis creates a pool of transmit packets via NdisAllocatePacketPool(), it's important that each time a new packet is allocated via NdisAllocatePacket() that validcounts be initialized to FALSE. If it isn't, and a previously transmitted NDIS_PACKET is pulled out of the pool, it may contain stale data from a previous transmission which won't get updated by NdisQueryPacket(). This would cause the driver to miscompute the number of fragments for a given packet, and botch the transmission. Fixing these three problems seems to make the Atheros driver happy on SMP, which hopefully means other serialized miniports will be happy too. And there was much rejoicing. Other stuff fixed along the way: - Modified ndis_thsuspend() to take a mutex as an argument. This allows KeWaitForSingleObject() and KeWaitForMultipleObjects() to avoid any possible race conditions with other routines that use the dispatcher lock. - Fixed KeCancelTimer() so that it returns the correct value for 'pending' according to the Microsoft documentation - Modfied NdisGetSystemUpTime() to use ticks and hz rather than calling nanouptime(). Also added comment that this routine wraps after 49.7 days. - Added macros for KeAcquireSpinLock()/KeReleaseSpinLock() to hide all the MSCALL() goop. - For x86, KeAcquireSpinLockRaiseToDpc() needs to be a separate function. This is because it's supposed to be _stdcall on the x86 arch, whereas KeAcquireSpinLock() is supposed to be _fastcall. On amd64, all routines use the same calling convention so we can just map KeAcquireSpinLockRaiseToDpc() directly to KfAcquireSpinLock() and it will work. (The _fastcall attribute is a no-op on amd64.) - Implement and use IoInitializeDpcRequest() and IoRequestDpc() (they're just macros) and use them for interrupt handling. This allows us to move the ndis_intrtask() routine from if_ndis.c to kern_ndis.c. - Fix the MmInitializeMdl() macro so that is uses sizeof(vm_offset_t) when computing mdl_size instead of uint32_t, so that it matches the MmSizeOfMdl() routine. - Change a could of M_WAITOKs to M_NOWAITs in the unicode routines in subr_ndis.c. - Use the dispatcher lock a little more consistently in subr_ntoskrnl.c. - Get rid of the "wait for link event" hack in ndis_init(). Now that I fixed NdisReadPciSlotInformation(), it seems I don't need it anymore. This should fix the witness panic a couple of people have reported. - Use MSCALL1() when calling the MiniportHangCheck() function in ndis_ticktask(). I accidentally missed this one when adding the wrapping for amd64.

Add support for Windows/x86-64 binaries to Project Evil. Ville-Pertti Keinonen (will at exomi dot comohmygodnospampleasekthx) deserves a big thanks for submitting initial patches to make it work. I have mangled his contributions appropriately. The main gotcha with Windows/x86-64 is that Microsoft uses a different calling convention than everyone else. The standard ABI requires using 6 registers for argument passing, with other arguments on the stack. Microsoft uses only 4 registers, and requires the caller to leave room on the stack for the register arguments incase the callee needs to spill them. Unlike x86, where Microsoft uses a mix of _cdecl, _stdcall and _fastcall, all routines on Windows/x86-64 uses the same convention. This unfortunately means that all the functions we export to the driver require an intermediate translation wrapper. Similarly, we have to wrap all calls back into the driver binary itself. The original patches provided macros to wrap every single routine at compile time, providing a secondary jump table with a customized wrapper for each exported routine. I decided to use a different approach: the call wrapper for each function is created from a template at runtime, and the routine to jump to is patched into the wrapper as it is created. The subr_pe module has been modified to patch in the wrapped function instead of the original. (On x86, the wrapping routine is a no-op.) There are some minor API differences that had to be accounted for: - KeAcquireSpinLock() is a real function on amd64, not a macro wrapper around KfAcquireSpinLock() - NdisFreeBuffer() is actually IoFreeMdl(). I had to change the whole NDIS_BUFFER API a bit to accomodate this. Bugs fixed along the way: - IoAllocateMdl() always returned NULL - kern_windrv.c:windrv_unload() wasn't releasing private driver object extensions correctly (found thanks to memguard) This has only been tested with the driver for the Broadcom 802.11g chipset, which was the only Windows/x86-64 driver I could find.

Finally bring an end to the great "make the Atheros NDIS driver work on SMP" saga. After several weeks and much gnashing of teeth, I have finally tracked down all the problems, despite their best efforts to confound and annoy me. Problem nunmber one: the Atheros windows driver is _NOT_ a de-serialized miniport! It used to be that NDIS drivers relied on the NDIS library itself for all their locking and serialization needs. Transmit packet queues were all handled internally by NDIS, and all calls to MiniportXXX() routines were guaranteed to be appropriately serialized. This proved to be a performance problem however, and Microsoft introduced de-serialized miniports with the NDIS 5.x spec. Microsoft still supports serialized miniports, but recommends that all new drivers written for Windows XP and later be deserialized. Apparently Atheros wasn't listening when they said this. This means (among other things) that we have to serialize calls to MiniportSendPackets(). We also have to serialize calls to MiniportTimer() that are triggered via the NdisMInitializeTimer() routine. It finally dawned on me why NdisMInitializeTimer() takes a special NDIS_MINIPORT_TIMER structure and a pointer to the miniport block: the timer callback must be serialized, and it's only by saving the miniport block handle that we can get access to the serialization lock during the timer callback. Problem number two: haunted hardware. The thing that was _really_ driving me absolutely bonkers for the longest time is that, for some reason I couldn't understand, my test machine would occasionally freeze or more frustratingly, reset completely. That's reset and in *pow!* back to the BIOS startup. No panic, no crashdump, just a reset. This appeared to happen most often when MiniportReset() was called. (As to why MiniportReset() was being called, see problem three below.) I thought maybe I had created some sort of horrible deadlock condition in the process of adding the serialization, but after three weeks, at least 6 different locking implementations and heroic efforts to debug the spinlock code, the machine still kept resetting. Finally, I started single stepping through the MiniportReset() routine in the driver using the kernel debugger, and this ultimately led me to the source of the problem. One of the last things the Atheros MiniportReset() routine does is call NdisReadPciSlotInformation() several times to inspect a portion of the device's PCI config space. It reads the same chunk of config space repeatedly, in rapid succession. Presumeably, it's polling the hardware for some sort of event. The reset occurs partway through this process. I discovered that when I single-stepped through this portion of the routine, the reset didn't occur. So I inserted a 1 microsecond delay into the read loop in NdisReadPciSlotInformation(). Suddenly, the reset was gone!! I'm still very puzzled by the whole thing. What I suspect is happening is that reading the PCI config space so quickly is causing a severe PCI bus error. My test system is a Sun w2100z dual Opteron system, and the NIC is a miniPCI card mounted in a miniPCI-to-PCI carrier card, plugged into a 100Mhz PCI slot. It's possible that this combination of hardware causes a bus protocol violation in this scenario which leads to a fatal machine check. This is pure speculation though. Really all I know for sure is that inserting the delay makes the problem go away. (To quote Homer Simpson: "I don't know how it works, but fire makes it good!") Problem number three: NdisAllocatePacket() needs to make sure to initialize the npp_validcounts field in the 'private' section of the NDIS_PACKET structure. The reason if_ndis was calling the MiniportReset() routine in the first place is that packet transmits were sometimes hanging. When sending a packet, an NDIS driver will call NdisQueryPacket() to learn how many physical buffers the packet resides in. NdisQueryPacket() is actually a macro, which traverses the NDIS_BUFFER list attached to the NDIS_PACKET and stashes some of the results in the 'private' section of the NDIS_PACKET. It also sets the npp_validcounts field to TRUE To indicate that the results are now valid. The problem is, now that if_ndis creates a pool of transmit packets via NdisAllocatePacketPool(), it's important that each time a new packet is allocated via NdisAllocatePacket() that validcounts be initialized to FALSE. If it isn't, and a previously transmitted NDIS_PACKET is pulled out of the pool, it may contain stale data from a previous transmission which won't get updated by NdisQueryPacket(). This would cause the driver to miscompute the number of fragments for a given packet, and botch the transmission. Fixing these three problems seems to make the Atheros driver happy on SMP, which hopefully means other serialized miniports will be happy too. And there was much rejoicing. Other stuff fixed along the way: - Modified ndis_thsuspend() to take a mutex as an argument. This allows KeWaitForSingleObject() and KeWaitForMultipleObjects() to avoid any possible race conditions with other routines that use the dispatcher lock. - Fixed KeCancelTimer() so that it returns the correct value for 'pending' according to the Microsoft documentation - Modfied NdisGetSystemUpTime() to use ticks and hz rather than calling nanouptime(). Also added comment that this routine wraps after 49.7 days. - Added macros for KeAcquireSpinLock()/KeReleaseSpinLock() to hide all the MSCALL() goop. - For x86, KeAcquireSpinLockRaiseToDpc() needs to be a separate function. This is because it's supposed to be _stdcall on the x86 arch, whereas KeAcquireSpinLock() is supposed to be _fastcall. On amd64, all routines use the same calling convention so we can just map KeAcquireSpinLockRaiseToDpc() directly to KfAcquireSpinLock() and it will work. (The _fastcall attribute is a no-op on amd64.) - Implement and use IoInitializeDpcRequest() and IoRequestDpc() (they're just macros) and use them for interrupt handling. This allows us to move the ndis_intrtask() routine from if_ndis.c to kern_ndis.c. - Fix the MmInitializeMdl() macro so that is uses sizeof(vm_offset_t) when computing mdl_size instead of uint32_t, so that it matches the MmSizeOfMdl() routine. - Change a could of M_WAITOKs to M_NOWAITs in the unicode routines in subr_ndis.c. - Use the dispatcher lock a little more consistently in subr_ntoskrnl.c. - Get rid of the "wait for link event" hack in ndis_init(). Now that I fixed NdisReadPciSlotInformation(), it seems I don't need it anymore. This should fix the witness panic a couple of people have reported. - Use MSCALL1() when calling the MiniportHangCheck() function in ndis_ticktask().

Continue my efforts to imitate Windows as closely as possible by attempting to duplicate Windows spinlocks. Windows spinlocks differ from FreeBSD spinlocks in the way they block preemption. FreeBSD spinlocks use critical_enter(), which masks off _all_ interrupts. This prevents any other threads from being scheduled, but it also prevents ISRs from running. In Windows, preemption is achieved by raising the processor IRQL to DISPATCH_LEVEL, which prevents other threads from preempting you, but does _not_ prevent device ISRs from running. (This is essentially what Solaris calls dispatcher locks.) The Windows spinlock itself (kspin_lock) is just an integer value which is atomically set when you acquire the lock and atomically cleared when you release it. FreeBSD doesn't have IRQ levels, so we have to cheat a little by using thread priorities: normal thread priority is PASSIVE_LEVEL, lowest interrupt thread priority is DISPATCH_LEVEL, highest thread priority is DEVICE_LEVEL (PI_REALTIME) and critical_enter() is HIGH_LEVEL. In practice, only PASSIVE_LEVEL and DISPATCH_LEVEL matter to us. The immediate benefit of all this is that I no longer have to rely on a mutex pool. Now, I'm sure many people will be seized by the urge to criticize me for doing an end run around our own spinlock implementation, but it makes more sense to do it this way. Well, it does to me anyway. Overview of the changes: - Properly implement hal_lock(), hal_unlock(), hal_irql(), hal_raise_irql() and hal_lower_irql() so that they more closely resemble their Windows counterparts. The IRQL is determined by thread priority. - Make ntoskrnl_lock_dpc() and ntoskrnl_unlock_dpc() do what they do in Windows, which is to atomically set/clear the lock value. These routines are designed to be called from DISPATCH_LEVEL, and are actually half of the work involved in acquiring/releasing spinlocks. - Add FASTCALL1(), FASTCALL2() and FASTCALL3() macros/wrappers that allow us to call a _fastcall function in spite of the fact that our version of gcc doesn't support __attribute__((__fastcall__)) yet. The macros take 1, 2 or 3 arguments, respectively. We need to call hal_lock(), hal_unlock() etc... ourselves, but can't really invoke the function directly. I could have just made the underlying functions native routines and put _fastcall wrappers around them for the benefit of Windows binaries, but that would create needless bloat. - Remove ndis_mtxpool and all references to it. We don't need it anymore. - Re-implement the NdisSpinLock routines so that they use hal_lock() and friends like they do in Windows. - Use the new spinlock methods for handling lookaside lists and linked list updates in place of the mutex locks that were there before. - Remove mutex locking from ndis_isr() and ndis_intrhand() since they're already called with ndis_intrmtx held in if_ndis.c. - Put ndis_destroy_lock() code under explicit #ifdef notdef/#endif. It turns out there are some drivers which stupidly free the memory in which their spinlocks reside before calling ndis_destroy_lock() on them (touch-after-free bug). The ADMtek wireless driver is guilty of this faux pas. (Why this doesn't clobber Windows I have no idea.) - Make NdisDprAcquireSpinLock() and NdisDprReleaseSpinLock() into real functions instead of aliasing them to NdisAcaquireSpinLock() and NdisReleaseSpinLock(). The Dpr routines use KeAcquireSpinLockAtDpcLevel() level and KeReleaseSpinLockFromDpcLevel(), which acquires the lock without twiddling the IRQL. - In ndis_linksts_done(), do _not_ call ndis_80211_getstate(). Some drivers may call the status/status done callbacks as the result of setting an OID: ndis_80211_getstate() gets OIDs, which means we might cause the driver to recursively access some of its internal structures unexpectedly. The ndis_ticktask() routine will call ndis_80211_getstate() for us eventually anyway. - Fix the channel setting code a little in ndis_80211_setstate(), and initialize the channel to IEEE80211_CHAN_ANYC. (The Microsoft spec says you're not supposed to twiddle the channel in BSS mode; I may need to enforce this later.) This fixes the problems I was having with the ADMtek adm8211 driver: we were setting the channel to a non-standard default, which would cause it to fail to associate in BSS mode. - Use hal_raise_irql() to raise our IRQL to DISPATCH_LEVEL when calling certain miniport routines, per the Microsoft documentation. I think that's everything. Hopefully, other than fixing the ADMtek driver, there should be no apparent change in behavior.

Commit the first cut of Project Evil, also known as the NDISulator. Yes, it's what you think it is. Yes, you should run away now. This is a special compatibility module for allowing Windows NDIS miniport network drivers to be used with FreeBSD/x86. This provides _binary_ NDIS compatibility (not source): you can run NDIS driver code, but you can't build it. There are three main parts: sys/compat/ndis: the NDIS compat API, which provides binary compatibility functions for many routines in NDIS.SYS, HAL.dll and ntoskrnl.exe in Windows (these are the three modules that most NDIS miniport drivers use). The compat module also contains a small PE relocator/dynalinker which relocates the Windows .SYS image and then patches in our native routines. sys/dev/if_ndis: the if_ndis driver wrapper. This module makes use of the ndis compat API and can be compiled with a specially prepared binary image file (ndis_driver_data.h) containing the Windows .SYS image and registry key information parsed out of the accompanying .INF file. Once if_ndis.ko is built, it can be loaded and unloaded just like a native FreeBSD kenrel module. usr.sbin/ndiscvt: a special utility that converts foo.sys and foo.inf into an ndis_driver_data.h file that can be compiled into if_ndis.o. Contains an .inf file parser graciously provided by Matt Dodd (and mercilessly hacked upon by me) that strips out device ID info and registry key info from a .INF file and packages it up with a binary image array. The ndiscvt(8) utility also does some manipulation of the segments within the .sys file to make life easier for the kernel loader. (Doing the manipulation here saves the kernel code from having to move things around later, which would waste memory.) ndiscvt is only built for the i386 arch. Only files.i386 has been updated, and none of this is turned on in GENERIC. It should probably work on pc98. I have no idea about amd64 or ia64 at this point. This is still a work in progress. I estimate it's about %85 done, but I want it under CVS control so I can track subsequent changes. It has been tested with exactly three drivers: the LinkSys LNE100TX v4 driver (Lne100v4.sys), the sample Intel 82559 driver from the Windows DDK (e100bex.sys) and the Broadcom BCM43xx wireless driver (bcmwl5.sys). It still needs to have a net80211 stuff added to it. To use it, you would do something like this: # cd /sys/modules/ndis # make; make load # cd /sys/modules/if_ndis # ndiscvt -i /path/to/foo.inf -s /path/to/foo.sys -o ndis_driver_data.h # make; make load # sysctl -a | grep ndis All registry keys are mapped to sysctl nodes. Sometimes drivers refer to registry keys that aren't mentioned in foo.inf. If this happens, the NDIS API module creates sysctl nodes for these keys on the fly so you can tweak them. An example usage of the Broadcom wireless driver would be: # sysctl hw.ndis0.EnableAutoConnect=1 # sysctl hw.ndis0.SSID="MY_SSID" # sysctl hw.ndis0.NetworkType=0 (0 for bss, 1 for adhoc) # ifconfig ndis0 <my ipaddr> netmask 0xffffff00 up Things to be done: - get rid of debug messages - add in ndis80211 support - defer transmissions until after a status update with NDIS_STATUS_CONNECTED occurs - Create smarter lookaside list support - Split off if_ndis_pci.c and if_ndis_pccard.c attachments - Make sure PCMCIA support works - Fix ndiscvt to properly parse PCMCIA device IDs from INF files - write ndisapi.9 man page

Create new i386 windows/bsd thunking layer, similar to the amd64 thunking layer, but with a twist. The twist has to do with the fact that Microsoft supports structured exception handling in kernel mode. On the i386 arch, exception handling is implemented by hanging an exception registration list off the Thread Environment Block (TEB), and the TEB is accessed via the %fs register. The problem is, we use %fs as a pointer to the pcpu stucture, which means any driver that tries to write through %fs:0 will overwrite the curthread pointer and make a serious mess of things. To get around this, Project Evil now creates a special entry in the GDT on each processor. When we call into Windows code, a context switch routine will fix up %fs so it points to our new descriptor, which in turn points to a fake TEB. When the Windows code returns, or calls out to an external routine, we swap %fs back again. Currently, Project Evil makes use of GDT slot 7, which is all 0s by default. I fully expect someone to jump up and say I can't do that, but I couldn't find any code that makes use of this entry anywhere. Sadly, this was the only method I could come up with that worked on both UP and SMP. (Modifying the LDT works on UP, but becomes incredibly complicated on SMP.) If necessary, the context switching stuff can be yanked out while preserving the convention calling wrappers. (Fortunately, it looks like Microsoft uses some special epilog/prolog code on amd64 to implement exception handling, so the same nastiness won't be necessary on that arch.) The advantages are: - Any driver that uses %fs as though it were a TEB pointer won't clobber pcpu. - All the __stdcall/__fastcall/__regparm stuff that's specific to gcc goes away. Also, while I'm here, switch NdisGetSystemUpTime() back to using nanouptime() again. It turns out nanouptime() is way more accurate than just using ticks(). On slower machines, the Atheros drivers I tested seem to take a long time to associate due to the loss in accuracy.

Another round of cleanups and fixes: - Change ndis_return() from a DPC to a workitem so that it doesn't run at DISPATCH_LEVEL (with the dispatcher lock held). - In if_ndis.c, submit packets to the stack via (*ifp->if_input)() in a workitem instead of doing it directly in ndis_rxeof(), because ndis_rxeof() runs in a DPC, and hence at DISPATCH_LEVEL. This implies that the 'dispatch level' mutex for the current CPU is being held, and we don't want to call if_input while holding any locks. - Reimplement IoConnectInterrupt()/IoDisconnectInterrupt(). The original approach I used to track down the interrupt resource (by scanning the device tree starting at the nexus) is prone to problems when two devices share an interrupt. (E.g removing ndis1 might disable interrupts for ndis0.) The new approach is to multiplex all the NDIS interrupts through a common internal dispatcher (ntoskrnl_intr()) and allow IoConnectInterrupt()/IoDisconnectInterrupt() to add or remove interrupts from the dispatch list. - Implement KeAcquireInterruptSpinLock() and KeReleaseInterruptSpinLock(). - Change the DPC and workitem threads to use the KeXXXSpinLock API instead of mtx_lock_spin()/mtx_unlock_spin(). - Simplify the NdisXXXPacket routines by creating an actual packet pool structure and using the InterlockedSList routines to manage the packet queue. - Only honor the value returned by OID_GEN_MAXIMUM_SEND_PACKETS for serialized drivers. For deserialized drivers, we now create a packet array of 64 entries. (The Microsoft DDK documentation says that for deserialized miniports, OID_GEN_MAXIMUM_SEND_PACKETS is ignored, and the driver for the Marvell 8335 chip, which is a deserialized miniport, returns 1 when queried.) - Clean up timer handling in subr_ntoskrnl. - Add the following conditional debugging code: NTOSKRNL_DEBUG_TIMERS - add debugging and stats for timers NDIS_DEBUG_PACKETS - add extra sanity checking for NdisXXXPacket API NTOSKRNL_DEBUG_SPINLOCKS - add test for spinning too long - In kern_ndis.c, always start the HAL first and shut it down last, since Windows spinlocks depend on it. Ntoskrnl should similarly be started second and shut down next to last.

Deal with a few bootstrap issues: We can't call KeFlushQueuedDpcs() during bootstrap (cold == 1), since the flush operation sleeps to wait for completion, and we can't sleep here (clowns will eat us). On an i386 SMP system, if we're loaded/probed/attached during bootstrap, smp_rendezvous() won't run us anywhere except CPU 0 (since the other CPUs aren't launched until later), which means we won't be able to set up the GDTs anywhere except CPU 0. To deal with this case, ctxsw_utow() now checks to see if the TID for the current processor has been properly initialized and sets up the GTD for the current CPU if not. Lastly, in if_ndis.c:ndis_shutdown(), do an ndis_stop() to insure we really halt the NIC and stop interrupts from happening. Note that loading a driver during bootstrap is, unfortunately, kind of a hit or miss sort of proposition. In Windows, the expectation is that by the time a given driver's MiniportInitialize() method is called, the system is already in 'multiuser' state, i.e. it's up and running enough to support all the stuff specified in the NDIS API, which includes the underlying OS-supplied facilities it implicitly depends on, such as having all CPUs running, having the DPC queues initialized, WorkItem threads running, etc. But in UNIX, a lot of that stuff won't work during bootstrap. This causes a problem since we need to call MiniportInitialize() at least once during ndis_attach() in order to find out what kind of NIC we have and learn its station address. What this means is that some cards just plain won't work right if you try to pre-load the driver along with the kernel: they'll only be probed/attach correctly if the driver is kldloaded _after_ the system has reached multiuser. I can't really think of a way around this that would still preserve the ability to use an NDIS device for diskless booting.

Each CPU gets its own DPC queue/thread, and each queue can have low, medium and high importance DPCs. New APIs implemented: KeSetTargetProcessorDpc(), KeSetImportanceDpc() and KeFlushQueuedDpcs(). (This is the biggest change.) - Fix a bug in NdisMInitializeTimer(): the k_dpc pointer in the nmt_timer embedded in the ndis_miniport_timer struct must be set to point to the DPC, also embedded in the struct. Failing to do this breaks dequeueing of DPCs submitted via timers, and in turn breaks cancelling timers. - Fix a bug in KeCancelTimer(): if the timer is interted in the timer queue (i.e. the timeout callback is still pending), we have to both untimeout() the timer _and_ call KeRemoveQueueDpc() to nuke the DPC that might be pending. Failing to do this breaks cancellation of periodic timers, which always appear to be inserted in the timer queue. - Make use of the nmt_nexttimer field in ndis_miniport_timer: keep a queue of pending timers and cancel them all in ndis_halt_nic(), prior to calling MiniportHalt(). Also call KeFlushQueuedDpcs() to make sure any DPCs queued by the timers have expired. - Modify NdisMAllocateSharedMemory() and NdisMFreeSharedMemory() to keep track of both the virtual and physical addresses of the shared memory buffers that get handed out. The AirGo MIMO driver appears to have a bug in it: for one of the segments is allocates, it returns the wrong virtual address. This would confuse NdisMFreeSharedMemory() and cause a crash. Why it doesn't crash Windows too I have no idea (from reading the documentation for NdisMFreeSharedMemory(), it appears to be a violation of the API). - Implement strstr(), strchr() and MmIsAddressValid(). - Implement IoAllocateWorkItem(), IoFreeWorkItem(), IoQueueWorkItem() and ExQueueWorkItem(). (This is the second biggest change.) - Make NdisScheduleWorkItem() call ExQueueWorkItem(). (Note that the ExQueueWorkItem() API is deprecated by Microsoft, but NDIS still uses it, since NdisScheduleWorkItem() is incompatible with the IoXXXWorkItem() API.) - Change if_ndis.c to use the NdisScheduleWorkItem() interface for scheduling tasks. With all these changes and fixes, the AirGo MIMO driver for the Belkin F5D8010 Pre-N card now works. Special thanks to Paul Robinson (paul dawt robinson at pwermedia dawt net) for the loan of a card for testing.

Another round of cleanups and fixes: - Change ndis_return() from a DPC to a workitem so that it doesn't run at DISPATCH_LEVEL (with the dispatcher lock held). - In if_ndis.c, submit packets to the stack via (*ifp->if_input)() in a workitem instead of doing it directly in ndis_rxeof(), because ndis_rxeof() runs in a DPC, and hence at DISPATCH_LEVEL. This implies that the 'dispatch level' mutex for the current CPU is being held, and we don't want to call if_input while holding any locks. - Reimplement IoConnectInterrupt()/IoDisconnectInterrupt(). The original approach I used to track down the interrupt resource (by scanning the device tree starting at the nexus) is prone to problems when two devices share an interrupt. (E.g removing ndis1 might disable interrupts for ndis0.) The new approach is to multiplex all the NDIS interrupts through a common internal dispatcher (ntoskrnl_intr()) and allow IoConnectInterrupt()/IoDisconnectInterrupt() to add or remove interrupts from the dispatch list. - Implement KeAcquireInterruptSpinLock() and KeReleaseInterruptSpinLock(). - Change the DPC and workitem threads to use the KeXXXSpinLock API instead of mtx_lock_spin()/mtx_unlock_spin(). - Simplify the NdisXXXPacket routines by creating an actual packet pool structure and using the InterlockedSList routines to manage the packet queue. - Only honor the value returned by OID_GEN_MAXIMUM_SEND_PACKETS for serialized drivers. For deserialized drivers, we now create a packet array of 64 entries. (The Microsoft DDK documentation says that for deserialized miniports, OID_GEN_MAXIMUM_SEND_PACKETS is ignored, and the driver for the Marvell 8335 chip, which is a deserialized miniport, returns 1 when queried.) - Clean up timer handling in subr_ntoskrnl. - Add the following conditional debugging code: NTOSKRNL_DEBUG_TIMERS - add debugging and stats for timers NDIS_DEBUG_PACKETS - add extra sanity checking for NdisXXXPacket API NTOSKRNL_DEBUG_SPINLOCKS - add test for spinning too long - In kern_ndis.c, always start the HAL first and shut it down last, since Windows spinlocks depend on it. Ntoskrnl should similarly be started second and shut down next to last.

Commit the first cut of Project Evil, also known as the NDISulator. Yes, it's what you think it is. Yes, you should run away now. This is a special compatibility module for allowing Windows NDIS miniport network drivers to be used with FreeBSD/x86. This provides _binary_ NDIS compatibility (not source): you can run NDIS driver code, but you can't build it. There are three main parts: sys/compat/ndis: the NDIS compat API, which provides binary compatibility functions for many routines in NDIS.SYS, HAL.dll and ntoskrnl.exe in Windows (these are the three modules that most NDIS miniport drivers use). The compat module also contains a small PE relocator/dynalinker which relocates the Windows .SYS image and then patches in our native routines. sys/dev/if_ndis: the if_ndis driver wrapper. This module makes use of the ndis compat API and can be compiled with a specially prepared binary image file (ndis_driver_data.h) containing the Windows .SYS image and registry key information parsed out of the accompanying .INF file. Once if_ndis.ko is built, it can be loaded and unloaded just like a native FreeBSD kenrel module. usr.sbin/ndiscvt: a special utility that converts foo.sys and foo.inf into an ndis_driver_data.h file that can be compiled into if_ndis.o. Contains an .inf file parser graciously provided by Matt Dodd (and mercilessly hacked upon by me) that strips out device ID info and registry key info from a .INF file and packages it up with a binary image array. The ndiscvt(8) utility also does some manipulation of the segments within the .sys file to make life easier for the kernel loader. (Doing the manipulation here saves the kernel code from having to move things around later, which would waste memory.) ndiscvt is only built for the i386 arch. Only files.i386 has been updated, and none of this is turned on in GENERIC. It should probably work on pc98. I have no idea about amd64 or ia64 at this point. This is still a work in progress. I estimate it's about %85 done, but I want it under CVS control so I can track subsequent changes. It has been tested with exactly three drivers: the LinkSys LNE100TX v4 driver (Lne100v4.sys), the sample Intel 82559 driver from the Windows DDK (e100bex.sys) and the Broadcom BCM43xx wireless driver (bcmwl5.sys). It still needs to have a net80211 stuff added to it. To use it, you would do something like this: # cd /sys/modules/ndis # make; make load # cd /sys/modules/if_ndis # ndiscvt -i /path/to/foo.inf -s /path/to/foo.sys -o ndis_driver_data.h # make; make load # sysctl -a | grep ndis All registry keys are mapped to sysctl nodes. Sometimes drivers refer to registry keys that aren't mentioned in foo.inf. If this happens, the NDIS API module creates sysctl nodes for these keys on the fly so you can tweak them. An example usage of the Broadcom wireless driver would be: # sysctl hw.ndis0.EnableAutoConnect=1 # sysctl hw.ndis0.SSID="MY_SSID" # sysctl hw.ndis0.NetworkType=0 (0 for bss, 1 for adhoc) # ifconfig ndis0 <my ipaddr> netmask 0xffffff00 up Things to be done: - get rid of debug messages - add in ndis80211 support - defer transmissions until after a status update with NDIS_STATUS_CONNECTED occurs - Create smarter lookaside list support - Split off if_ndis_pci.c and if_ndis_pccard.c attachments - Make sure PCMCIA support works - Fix ndiscvt to properly parse PCMCIA device IDs from INF files - write ndisapi.9 man page

Next step on the road to IRPs: create and use an imitation of the Windows DRIVER_OBJECT and DEVICE_OBJECT mechanism so that we can simulate driver stacking. In Windows, each loaded driver image is attached to a DRIVER_OBJECT structure. Windows uses the registry to match up a given vendor/device ID combination with a corresponding DRIVER_OBJECT. When a driver image is first loaded, its DriverEntry() routine is invoked, which sets up the AddDevice() function pointer in the DRIVER_OBJECT and creates a dispatch table (based on IRP major codes). When a Windows bus driver detects a new device, it creates a Physical Device Object (PDO) for it. This is a DEVICE_OBJECT structure, with semantics analagous to that of a device_t in FreeBSD. The Windows PNP manager will invoke the driver's AddDevice() function and pass it pointers to the DRIVER_OBJECT and the PDO. The AddDevice() function then creates a new DRIVER_OBJECT structure of its own. This is known as the Functional Device Object (FDO) and corresponds roughly to a private softc instance. The driver uses IoAttachDeviceToDeviceStack() to add this device object to the driver stack for this PDO. Subsequent drivers (called filter drivers in Windows-speak) can be loaded which add themselves to the stack. When someone issues an IRP to a device, it travel along the stack passing through several possible filter drivers until it reaches the functional driver (which actually knows how to talk to the hardware) at which point it will be completed. This is how Windows achieves driver layering. Project Evil now simulates most of this. if_ndis now has a modevent handler which will use MOD_LOAD and MOD_UNLOAD events to drive the creation and destruction of DRIVER_OBJECTs. (The load event also does the relocation/dynalinking of the image.) We don't have a registry, so the DRIVER_OBJECTS are stored in a linked list for now. Eventually, the list entry will contain the vendor/device ID list extracted from the .INF file. When ndis_probe() is called and detectes a supported device, it will create a PDO for the device instance and attach it to the DRIVER_OBJECT just as in Windows. ndis_attach() will then call our NdisAddDevice() handler to create the FDO. The NDIS miniport block is now a device extension hung off the FDO, just as it is in Windows. The miniport characteristics table is now an extension hung off the DRIVER_OBJECT as well (the characteristics are the same for all devices handled by a given driver, so they don't need to be per-instance.) We also do an IoAttachDeviceToDeviceStack() to put the FDO on the stack for the PDO. There are a couple of fake bus drivers created for the PCI and pccard buses. Eventually, there will be one for USB, which will actually accept USB IRP.s Things should still work just as before, only now we do things in the proper order and maintain the correct framework to support passing IRPs between drivers. Various changes: - corrected the comments about IRQL handling in subr_hal.c to more accurately reflect reality - update ndiscvt to make the drv_data symbol in ndis_driver_data.h a global so that if_ndis_pci.o and/or if_ndis_pccard.o can see it. - Obtain the softc pointer from the miniport block by referencing the PDO rather than a private pointer of our own (nmb_ifp is no longer used) - implement IoAttachDeviceToDeviceStack(), IoDetachDevice(), IoGetAttachedDevice(), IoAllocateDriverObjectExtension(), IoGetDriverObjectExtension(), IoCreateDevice(), IoDeleteDevice(), IoAllocateIrp(), IoReuseIrp(), IoMakeAssociatedIrp(), IoFreeIrp(), IoInitializeIrp() - fix a few mistakes in the driver_object and device_object definitions - add a new module, kern_windrv.c, to handle the driver registration and relocation/dynalinkign duties (which don't really belong in kern_ndis.c). - made ndis_block and ndis_chars in the ndis_softc stucture pointers and modified all references to it - fixed NdisMRegisterMiniport() and NdisInitializeWrapper() so they work correctly with the new driver_object mechanism - changed ndis_attach() to call NdisAddDevice() instead of ndis_load_driver() (which is now deprecated) - used ExAllocatePoolWithTag()/ExFreePool() in lookaside list routines instead of kludged up alloc/free routines - added kern_windrv.c to sys/modules/ndis/Makefile and files.i386.

Add support for Windows/x86-64 binaries to Project Evil. Ville-Pertti Keinonen (will at exomi dot comohmygodnospampleasekthx) deserves a big thanks for submitting initial patches to make it work. I have mangled his contributions appropriately. The main gotcha with Windows/x86-64 is that Microsoft uses a different calling convention than everyone else. The standard ABI requires using 6 registers for argument passing, with other arguments on the stack. Microsoft uses only 4 registers, and requires the caller to leave room on the stack for the register arguments incase the callee needs to spill them. Unlike x86, where Microsoft uses a mix of _cdecl, _stdcall and _fastcall, all routines on Windows/x86-64 uses the same convention. This unfortunately means that all the functions we export to the driver require an intermediate translation wrapper. Similarly, we have to wrap all calls back into the driver binary itself. The original patches provided macros to wrap every single routine at compile time, providing a secondary jump table with a customized wrapper for each exported routine. I decided to use a different approach: the call wrapper for each function is created from a template at runtime, and the routine to jump to is patched into the wrapper as it is created. The subr_pe module has been modified to patch in the wrapped function instead of the original. (On x86, the wrapping routine is a no-op.) There are some minor API differences that had to be accounted for: - KeAcquireSpinLock() is a real function on amd64, not a macro wrapper around KfAcquireSpinLock() - NdisFreeBuffer() is actually IoFreeMdl(). I had to change the whole NDIS_BUFFER API a bit to accomodate this. Bugs fixed along the way: - IoAllocateMdl() always returned NULL - kern_windrv.c:windrv_unload() wasn't releasing private driver object extensions correctly (found thanks to memguard) This has only been tested with the driver for the Broadcom 802.11g chipset, which was the only Windows/x86-64 driver I could find.

2003-12-11 22:34:37 +00:00
This commit makes a big round of updates and fixes many, many things. First and most importantly, I threw out the thread priority-twiddling implementation of KeRaiseIrql()/KeLowerIrq()/KeGetCurrentIrql() in favor of a new scheme that uses sleep mutexes. The old scheme was really very naughty and sought to provide the same behavior as Windows spinlocks (i.e. blocking pre-emption) but in a way that wouldn't raise the ire of WITNESS. The new scheme represents 'DISPATCH_LEVEL' as the acquisition of a per-cpu sleep mutex. If a thread on cpu0 acquires the 'dispatcher mutex,' it will block any other thread on the same processor that tries to acquire it, in effect only allowing one thread on the processor to be at 'DISPATCH_LEVEL' at any given time. It can then do the 'atomic sit and spin' routine on the spinlock variable itself. If a thread on cpu1 wants to acquire the same spinlock, it acquires the 'dispatcher mutex' for cpu1 and then it too does an atomic sit and spin to try acquiring the spinlock. Unlike real spinlocks, this does not disable pre-emption of all threads on the CPU, but it does put any threads involved with the NDISulator to sleep, which is just as good for our purposes. This means I can now play nice with WITNESS, and I can safely do things like call malloc() when I'm at 'DISPATCH_LEVEL,' which you're allowed to do in Windows. Next, I completely re-wrote most of the event/timer/mutex handling and wait code. KeWaitForSingleObject() and KeWaitForMultipleObjects() have been re-written to use condition variables instead of msleep(). This allows us to use the Windows convention whereby thread A can tell thread B "wake up with a boosted priority." (With msleep(), you instead have thread B saying "when I get woken up, I'll use this priority here," and thread A can't tell it to do otherwise.) The new KeWaitForMultipleObjects() has been better tested and better duplicates the semantics of its Windows counterpart. I also overhauled the IoQueueWorkItem() API and underlying code. Like KeInsertQueueDpc(), IoQueueWorkItem() must insure that the same work item isn't put on the queue twice. ExQueueWorkItem(), which in my implementation is built on top of IoQueueWorkItem(), was also modified to perform a similar test. I renamed the doubly-linked list macros to give them the same names as their Windows counterparts and fixed RemoveListTail() and RemoveListHead() so they properly return the removed item. I also corrected the list handling code in ntoskrnl_dpc_thread() and ntoskrnl_workitem_thread(). I realized that the original logic did not correctly handle the case where a DPC callout tries to queue up another DPC. It works correctly now. I implemented IoConnectInterrupt() and IoDisconnectInterrupt() and modified NdisMRegisterInterrupt() and NdisMDisconnectInterrupt() to use them. I also tried to duplicate the interrupt handling scheme used in Windows. The interrupt handling is now internal to ndis.ko, and the ndis_intr() function has been removed from if_ndis.c. (In the USB case, interrupt handling isn't needed in if_ndis.c anyway.) NdisMSleep() has been rewritten to use a KeWaitForSingleObject() and a KeTimer, which is how it works in Windows. (This is mainly to insure that the NDISulator uses the KeTimer API so I can spot any problems with it that may arise.) KeCancelTimer() has been changed so that it only cancels timers, and does not attempt to cancel a DPC if the timer managed to fire and queue one up before KeCancelTimer() was called. The Windows DDK documentation seems to imply that KeCantelTimer() will also call KeRemoveQueueDpc() if necessary, but it really doesn't. The KeTimer implementation has been rewritten to use the callout API directly instead of timeout()/untimeout(). I still cheat a little in that I have to manage my own small callout timer wheel, but the timer code works more smoothly now. I discovered a race condition using timeout()/untimeout() with periodic timers where untimeout() fails to actually cancel a timer. I don't quite understand where the race is, using callout_init()/callout_reset()/callout_stop() directly seems to fix it. I also discovered and fixed a bug in winx32_wrap.S related to translating _stdcall calls. There are a couple of routines (i.e. the 64-bit arithmetic intrinsics in subr_ntoskrnl) that return 64-bit quantities. On the x86 arch, 64-bit values are returned in the %eax and %edx registers. However, it happens that the ctxsw_utow() routine uses %edx as a scratch register, and x86_stdcall_wrap() and x86_stdcall_call() were only preserving %eax before branching to ctxsw_utow(). This means %edx was getting clobbered in some cases. Curiously, the most noticeable effect of this bug is that the driver for the TI AXC110 chipset would constantly drop and reacquire its link for no apparent reason. Both %eax and %edx are preserved on the stack now. The _fastcall and _regparm wrappers already handled everything correctly. I changed if_ndis to use IoAllocateWorkItem() and IoQueueWorkItem() instead of the NdisScheduleWorkItem() API. This is to avoid possible deadlocks with any drivers that use NdisScheduleWorkItem() themselves. The unicode/ansi conversion handling code has been cleaned up. The internal routines have been moved to subr_ntoskrnl and the RtlXXX routines have been exported so that subr_ndis can call them. This removes the incestuous relationship between the two modules regarding this code and fixes the implementation so that it honors the 'maxlen' fields correctly. (Previously it was possible for NdisUnicodeStringToAnsiString() to possibly clobber memory it didn't own, which was causing many mysterious crashes in the Marvell 8335 driver.) The registry handling code (NdisOpen/Close/ReadConfiguration()) has been fixed to allocate memory for all the parameters it hands out to callers and delete whem when NdisCloseConfiguration() is called. (Previously, it would secretly use a single static buffer.) I also substantially updated if_ndis so that the source can now be built on FreeBSD 7, 6 and 5 without any changes. On FreeBSD 5, only WEP support is enabled. On FreeBSD 6 and 7, WPA-PSK support is enabled. The original WPA code has been updated to fit in more cleanly with the net80211 API, and to eleminate the use of magic numbers. The ndis_80211_setstate() routine now sets a default authmode of OPEN and initializes the RTS threshold and fragmentation threshold. The WPA routines were changed so that the authentication mode is always set first, followed by the cipher. Some drivers depend on the operations being performed in this order. I also added passthrough ioctls that allow application code to directly call the MiniportSetInformation()/MiniportQueryInformation() methods via ndis_set_info() and ndis_get_info(). The ndis_linksts() routine also caches the last 4 events signalled by the driver via NdisMIndicateStatus(), and they can be queried by an application via a separate ioctl. This is done to allow wpa_supplicant to directly program the various crypto and key management options in the driver, allowing things like WPA2 support to work. Whew.

Create new i386 windows/bsd thunking layer, similar to the amd64 thunking layer, but with a twist. The twist has to do with the fact that Microsoft supports structured exception handling in kernel mode. On the i386 arch, exception handling is implemented by hanging an exception registration list off the Thread Environment Block (TEB), and the TEB is accessed via the %fs register. The problem is, we use %fs as a pointer to the pcpu stucture, which means any driver that tries to write through %fs:0 will overwrite the curthread pointer and make a serious mess of things. To get around this, Project Evil now creates a special entry in the GDT on each processor. When we call into Windows code, a context switch routine will fix up %fs so it points to our new descriptor, which in turn points to a fake TEB. When the Windows code returns, or calls out to an external routine, we swap %fs back again. Currently, Project Evil makes use of GDT slot 7, which is all 0s by default. I fully expect someone to jump up and say I can't do that, but I couldn't find any code that makes use of this entry anywhere. Sadly, this was the only method I could come up with that worked on both UP and SMP. (Modifying the LDT works on UP, but becomes incredibly complicated on SMP.) If necessary, the context switching stuff can be yanked out while preserving the convention calling wrappers. (Fortunately, it looks like Microsoft uses some special epilog/prolog code on amd64 to implement exception handling, so the same nastiness won't be necessary on that arch.) The advantages are: - Any driver that uses %fs as though it were a TEB pointer won't clobber pcpu. - All the __stdcall/__fastcall/__regparm stuff that's specific to gcc goes away. Also, while I'm here, switch NdisGetSystemUpTime() back to using nanouptime() again. It turns out nanouptime() is way more accurate than just using ticks(). On slower machines, the Atheros drivers I tested seem to take a long time to associate due to the loss in accuracy.

Commit the first cut of Project Evil, also known as the NDISulator. Yes, it's what you think it is. Yes, you should run away now. This is a special compatibility module for allowing Windows NDIS miniport network drivers to be used with FreeBSD/x86. This provides _binary_ NDIS compatibility (not source): you can run NDIS driver code, but you can't build it. There are three main parts: sys/compat/ndis: the NDIS compat API, which provides binary compatibility functions for many routines in NDIS.SYS, HAL.dll and ntoskrnl.exe in Windows (these are the three modules that most NDIS miniport drivers use). The compat module also contains a small PE relocator/dynalinker which relocates the Windows .SYS image and then patches in our native routines. sys/dev/if_ndis: the if_ndis driver wrapper. This module makes use of the ndis compat API and can be compiled with a specially prepared binary image file (ndis_driver_data.h) containing the Windows .SYS image and registry key information parsed out of the accompanying .INF file. Once if_ndis.ko is built, it can be loaded and unloaded just like a native FreeBSD kenrel module. usr.sbin/ndiscvt: a special utility that converts foo.sys and foo.inf into an ndis_driver_data.h file that can be compiled into if_ndis.o. Contains an .inf file parser graciously provided by Matt Dodd (and mercilessly hacked upon by me) that strips out device ID info and registry key info from a .INF file and packages it up with a binary image array. The ndiscvt(8) utility also does some manipulation of the segments within the .sys file to make life easier for the kernel loader. (Doing the manipulation here saves the kernel code from having to move things around later, which would waste memory.) ndiscvt is only built for the i386 arch. Only files.i386 has been updated, and none of this is turned on in GENERIC. It should probably work on pc98. I have no idea about amd64 or ia64 at this point. This is still a work in progress. I estimate it's about %85 done, but I want it under CVS control so I can track subsequent changes. It has been tested with exactly three drivers: the LinkSys LNE100TX v4 driver (Lne100v4.sys), the sample Intel 82559 driver from the Windows DDK (e100bex.sys) and the Broadcom BCM43xx wireless driver (bcmwl5.sys). It still needs to have a net80211 stuff added to it. To use it, you would do something like this: # cd /sys/modules/ndis # make; make load # cd /sys/modules/if_ndis # ndiscvt -i /path/to/foo.inf -s /path/to/foo.sys -o ndis_driver_data.h # make; make load # sysctl -a | grep ndis All registry keys are mapped to sysctl nodes. Sometimes drivers refer to registry keys that aren't mentioned in foo.inf. If this happens, the NDIS API module creates sysctl nodes for these keys on the fly so you can tweak them. An example usage of the Broadcom wireless driver would be: # sysctl hw.ndis0.EnableAutoConnect=1 # sysctl hw.ndis0.SSID="MY_SSID" # sysctl hw.ndis0.NetworkType=0 (0 for bss, 1 for adhoc) # ifconfig ndis0 <my ipaddr> netmask 0xffffff00 up Things to be done: - get rid of debug messages - add in ndis80211 support - defer transmissions until after a status update with NDIS_STATUS_CONNECTED occurs - Create smarter lookaside list support - Split off if_ndis_pci.c and if_ndis_pccard.c attachments - Make sure PCMCIA support works - Fix ndiscvt to properly parse PCMCIA device IDs from INF files - write ndisapi.9 man page

Next step on the road to IRPs: create and use an imitation of the Windows DRIVER_OBJECT and DEVICE_OBJECT mechanism so that we can simulate driver stacking. In Windows, each loaded driver image is attached to a DRIVER_OBJECT structure. Windows uses the registry to match up a given vendor/device ID combination with a corresponding DRIVER_OBJECT. When a driver image is first loaded, its DriverEntry() routine is invoked, which sets up the AddDevice() function pointer in the DRIVER_OBJECT and creates a dispatch table (based on IRP major codes). When a Windows bus driver detects a new device, it creates a Physical Device Object (PDO) for it. This is a DEVICE_OBJECT structure, with semantics analagous to that of a device_t in FreeBSD. The Windows PNP manager will invoke the driver's AddDevice() function and pass it pointers to the DRIVER_OBJECT and the PDO. The AddDevice() function then creates a new DRIVER_OBJECT structure of its own. This is known as the Functional Device Object (FDO) and corresponds roughly to a private softc instance. The driver uses IoAttachDeviceToDeviceStack() to add this device object to the driver stack for this PDO. Subsequent drivers (called filter drivers in Windows-speak) can be loaded which add themselves to the stack. When someone issues an IRP to a device, it travel along the stack passing through several possible filter drivers until it reaches the functional driver (which actually knows how to talk to the hardware) at which point it will be completed. This is how Windows achieves driver layering. Project Evil now simulates most of this. if_ndis now has a modevent handler which will use MOD_LOAD and MOD_UNLOAD events to drive the creation and destruction of DRIVER_OBJECTs. (The load event also does the relocation/dynalinking of the image.) We don't have a registry, so the DRIVER_OBJECTS are stored in a linked list for now. Eventually, the list entry will contain the vendor/device ID list extracted from the .INF file. When ndis_probe() is called and detectes a supported device, it will create a PDO for the device instance and attach it to the DRIVER_OBJECT just as in Windows. ndis_attach() will then call our NdisAddDevice() handler to create the FDO. The NDIS miniport block is now a device extension hung off the FDO, just as it is in Windows. The miniport characteristics table is now an extension hung off the DRIVER_OBJECT as well (the characteristics are the same for all devices handled by a given driver, so they don't need to be per-instance.) We also do an IoAttachDeviceToDeviceStack() to put the FDO on the stack for the PDO. There are a couple of fake bus drivers created for the PCI and pccard buses. Eventually, there will be one for USB, which will actually accept USB IRP.s Things should still work just as before, only now we do things in the proper order and maintain the correct framework to support passing IRPs between drivers. Various changes: - corrected the comments about IRQL handling in subr_hal.c to more accurately reflect reality - update ndiscvt to make the drv_data symbol in ndis_driver_data.h a global so that if_ndis_pci.o and/or if_ndis_pccard.o can see it. - Obtain the softc pointer from the miniport block by referencing the PDO rather than a private pointer of our own (nmb_ifp is no longer used) - implement IoAttachDeviceToDeviceStack(), IoDetachDevice(), IoGetAttachedDevice(), IoAllocateDriverObjectExtension(), IoGetDriverObjectExtension(), IoCreateDevice(), IoDeleteDevice(), IoAllocateIrp(), IoReuseIrp(), IoMakeAssociatedIrp(), IoFreeIrp(), IoInitializeIrp() - fix a few mistakes in the driver_object and device_object definitions - add a new module, kern_windrv.c, to handle the driver registration and relocation/dynalinkign duties (which don't really belong in kern_ndis.c). - made ndis_block and ndis_chars in the ndis_softc stucture pointers and modified all references to it - fixed NdisMRegisterMiniport() and NdisInitializeWrapper() so they work correctly with the new driver_object mechanism - changed ndis_attach() to call NdisAddDevice() instead of ndis_load_driver() (which is now deprecated) - used ExAllocatePoolWithTag()/ExFreePool() in lookaside list routines instead of kludged up alloc/free routines - added kern_windrv.c to sys/modules/ndis/Makefile and files.i386.

Add support for Windows/x86-64 binaries to Project Evil. Ville-Pertti Keinonen (will at exomi dot comohmygodnospampleasekthx) deserves a big thanks for submitting initial patches to make it work. I have mangled his contributions appropriately. The main gotcha with Windows/x86-64 is that Microsoft uses a different calling convention than everyone else. The standard ABI requires using 6 registers for argument passing, with other arguments on the stack. Microsoft uses only 4 registers, and requires the caller to leave room on the stack for the register arguments incase the callee needs to spill them. Unlike x86, where Microsoft uses a mix of _cdecl, _stdcall and _fastcall, all routines on Windows/x86-64 uses the same convention. This unfortunately means that all the functions we export to the driver require an intermediate translation wrapper. Similarly, we have to wrap all calls back into the driver binary itself. The original patches provided macros to wrap every single routine at compile time, providing a secondary jump table with a customized wrapper for each exported routine. I decided to use a different approach: the call wrapper for each function is created from a template at runtime, and the routine to jump to is patched into the wrapper as it is created. The subr_pe module has been modified to patch in the wrapped function instead of the original. (On x86, the wrapping routine is a no-op.) There are some minor API differences that had to be accounted for: - KeAcquireSpinLock() is a real function on amd64, not a macro wrapper around KfAcquireSpinLock() - NdisFreeBuffer() is actually IoFreeMdl(). I had to change the whole NDIS_BUFFER API a bit to accomodate this. Bugs fixed along the way: - IoAllocateMdl() always returned NULL - kern_windrv.c:windrv_unload() wasn't releasing private driver object extensions correctly (found thanks to memguard) This has only been tested with the driver for the Broadcom 802.11g chipset, which was the only Windows/x86-64 driver I could find.

Commit the first cut of Project Evil, also known as the NDISulator. Yes, it's what you think it is. Yes, you should run away now. This is a special compatibility module for allowing Windows NDIS miniport network drivers to be used with FreeBSD/x86. This provides _binary_ NDIS compatibility (not source): you can run NDIS driver code, but you can't build it. There are three main parts: sys/compat/ndis: the NDIS compat API, which provides binary compatibility functions for many routines in NDIS.SYS, HAL.dll and ntoskrnl.exe in Windows (these are the three modules that most NDIS miniport drivers use). The compat module also contains a small PE relocator/dynalinker which relocates the Windows .SYS image and then patches in our native routines. sys/dev/if_ndis: the if_ndis driver wrapper. This module makes use of the ndis compat API and can be compiled with a specially prepared binary image file (ndis_driver_data.h) containing the Windows .SYS image and registry key information parsed out of the accompanying .INF file. Once if_ndis.ko is built, it can be loaded and unloaded just like a native FreeBSD kenrel module. usr.sbin/ndiscvt: a special utility that converts foo.sys and foo.inf into an ndis_driver_data.h file that can be compiled into if_ndis.o. Contains an .inf file parser graciously provided by Matt Dodd (and mercilessly hacked upon by me) that strips out device ID info and registry key info from a .INF file and packages it up with a binary image array. The ndiscvt(8) utility also does some manipulation of the segments within the .sys file to make life easier for the kernel loader. (Doing the manipulation here saves the kernel code from having to move things around later, which would waste memory.) ndiscvt is only built for the i386 arch.

Next step on the road to IRPs: create and use an imitation of the Windows DRIVER_OBJECT and DEVICE_OBJECT mechanism so that we can simulate driver stacking. In Windows, each loaded driver image is attached to a DRIVER_OBJECT structure. Windows uses the registry to match up a given vendor/device ID combination with a corresponding DRIVER_OBJECT. When a driver image is first loaded, its DriverEntry() routine is invoked, which sets up the AddDevice() function pointer in the DRIVER_OBJECT and creates a dispatch table (based on IRP major codes). When a Windows bus driver detects a new device, it creates a Physical Device Object (PDO) for it. This is a DEVICE_OBJECT structure, with semantics analagous to that of a device_t in FreeBSD. The Windows PNP manager will invoke the driver's AddDevice() function and pass it pointers to the DRIVER_OBJECT and the PDO. The AddDevice() function then creates a new DRIVER_OBJECT structure of its own. This is known as the Functional Device Object (FDO) and corresponds roughly to a private softc instance. The driver uses IoAttachDeviceToDeviceStack() to add this device object to the driver stack for this PDO. Subsequent drivers (called filter drivers in Windows-speak) can be loaded which add themselves to the stack. When someone issues an IRP to a device, it travel along the stack passing through several possible filter drivers until it reaches the functional driver (which actually knows how to talk to the hardware) at which point it will be completed. This is how Windows achieves driver layering. Project Evil now simulates most of this. if_ndis now has a modevent handler which will use MOD_LOAD and MOD_UNLOAD events to drive the creation and destruction of DRIVER_OBJECTs. (The load event also does the relocation/dynalinking of the image.) We don't have a registry, so the DRIVER_OBJECTS are stored in a linked list for now. Eventually, the list entry will contain the vendor/device ID list extracted from the .INF file. When ndis_probe() is called and detectes a supported device, it will create a PDO for the device instance and attach it to the DRIVER_OBJECT just as in Windows. ndis_attach() will then call our NdisAddDevice() handler to create the FDO. The NDIS miniport block is now a device extension hung off the FDO, just as it is in Windows. The miniport characteristics table is now an extension hung off the DRIVER_OBJECT as well (the characteristics are the same for all devices handled by a given driver, so they don't need to be per-instance.) We also do an IoAttachDeviceToDeviceStack() to put the FDO on the stack for the PDO. There are a couple of fake bus drivers created for the PCI and pccard buses. Eventually, there will be one for USB, which will actually accept USB IRP.s Things should still work just as before, only now we do things in the proper order and maintain the correct framework to support passing IRPs between drivers. Various changes: - corrected the comments about IRQL handling in subr_hal.c to more accurately reflect reality - update ndiscvt to make the drv_data symbol in ndis_driver_data.h a global so that if_ndis_pci.o and/or if_ndis_pccard.o can see it. - Obtain the softc pointer from the miniport block by referencing the PDO rather than a private pointer of our own (nmb_ifp is no longer used) - implement IoAttachDeviceToDeviceStack(), IoDetachDevice(), IoGetAttachedDevice(), IoAllocateDriverObjectExtension(), IoGetDriverObjectExtension(), IoCreateDevice(), IoDeleteDevice(), IoAllocateIrp(), IoReuseIrp(), IoMakeAssociatedIrp(), IoFreeIrp(), IoInitializeIrp() - fix a few mistakes in the driver_object and device_object definitions - add a new module, kern_windrv.c, to handle the driver registration and relocation/dynalinkign duties (which don't really belong in kern_ndis.c). - made ndis_block and ndis_chars in the ndis_softc stucture pointers and modified all references to it - fixed NdisMRegisterMiniport() and NdisInitializeWrapper() so they work correctly with the new driver_object mechanism - changed ndis_attach() to call NdisAddDevice() instead of ndis_load_driver() (which is now deprecated) - used ExAllocatePoolWithTag()/ExFreePool() in lookaside list routines instead of kludged up alloc/free routines - added kern_windrv.c to sys/modules/ndis/Makefile and files.i386.

This commit makes a bunch of changes, some big, some not so big. - Remove the old task threads from kern_ndis.c and reimplement them in subr_ntoskrnl.c, in order to more properly emulate the Windows DPC API. Each CPU gets its own DPC queue/thread, and each queue can have low, medium and high importance DPCs. New APIs implemented: KeSetTargetProcessorDpc(), KeSetImportanceDpc() and KeFlushQueuedDpcs(). (This is the biggest change.) - Fix a bug in NdisMInitializeTimer(): the k_dpc pointer in the nmt_timer embedded in the ndis_miniport_timer struct must be set to point to the DPC, also embedded in the struct. Failing to do this breaks dequeueing of DPCs submitted via timers, and in turn breaks cancelling timers. - Fix a bug in KeCancelTimer(): if the timer is interted in the timer queue (i.e. the timeout callback is still pending), we have to both untimeout() the timer _and_ call KeRemoveQueueDpc() to nuke the DPC that might be pending. Failing to do this breaks cancellation of periodic timers, which always appear to be inserted in the timer queue. - Make use of the nmt_nexttimer field in ndis_miniport_timer: keep a queue of pending timers and cancel them all in ndis_halt_nic(), prior to calling MiniportHalt(). Also call KeFlushQueuedDpcs() to make sure any DPCs queued by the timers have expired. - Modify NdisMAllocateSharedMemory() and NdisMFreeSharedMemory() to keep track of both the virtual and physical addresses of the shared memory buffers that get handed out. The AirGo MIMO driver appears to have a bug in it: for one of the segments is allocates, it returns the wrong virtual address. This would confuse NdisMFreeSharedMemory() and cause a crash. Why it doesn't crash Windows too I have no idea (from reading the documentation for NdisMFreeSharedMemory(), it appears to be a violation of the API). - Implement strstr(), strchr() and MmIsAddressValid(). - Implement IoAllocateWorkItem(), IoFreeWorkItem(), IoQueueWorkItem() and ExQueueWorkItem(). (This is the second biggest change.) - Make NdisScheduleWorkItem() call ExQueueWorkItem(). (Note that the ExQueueWorkItem() API is deprecated by Microsoft, but NDIS still uses it, since NdisScheduleWorkItem() is incompatible with the IoXXXWorkItem() API.) - Change if_ndis.c to use the NdisScheduleWorkItem() interface for scheduling tasks. With all these changes and fixes, the AirGo MIMO driver for the Belkin F5D8010 Pre-N card now works. Special thanks to Paul Robinson (paul dawt robinson at pwermedia dawt net) for the loan of a card for testing.

When ndis_probe() is called and detectes a supported device, it will create a PDO for the device instance and attach it to the DRIVER_OBJECT just as in Windows. ndis_attach() will then call our NdisAddDevice() handler to create the FDO. The NDIS miniport block is now a device extension hung off the FDO, just as it is in Windows. The miniport characteristics table is now an extension hung off the DRIVER_OBJECT as well (the characteristics are the same for all devices handled by a given driver, so they don't need to be per-instance.) We also do an IoAttachDeviceToDeviceStack() to put the FDO on the stack for the PDO. There are a couple of fake bus drivers created for the PCI and pccard buses. Eventually, there will be one for USB, which will actually accept USB IRP.s Things should still work just as before, only now we do things in the proper order and maintain the correct framework to support passing IRPs between drivers. Various changes: - corrected the comments about IRQL handling in subr_hal.c to more accurately reflect reality - update ndiscvt to make the drv_data symbol in ndis_driver_data.h a global so that if_ndis_pci.o and/or if_ndis_pccard.o can see it. - Obtain the softc pointer from the miniport block by referencing the PDO rather than a private pointer of our own (nmb_ifp is no longer used) - implement IoAttachDeviceToDeviceStack(), IoDetachDevice(), IoGetAttachedDevice(), IoAllocateDriverObjectExtension(), IoGetDriverObjectExtension(), IoCreateDevice(), IoDeleteDevice(), IoAllocateIrp(), IoReuseIrp(), IoMakeAssociatedIrp(), IoFreeIrp(), IoInitializeIrp() - fix a few mistakes in the driver_object and device_object definitions - add a new module, kern_windrv.c, to handle the driver registration and relocation/dynalinkign duties (which don't really belong in kern_ndis.c). - made ndis_block and ndis_chars in the ndis_softc stucture pointers and modified all references to it - fixed NdisMRegisterMiniport() and NdisInitializeWrapper() so they work correctly with the new driver_object mechanism - changed ndis_attach() to call NdisAddDevice() instead of ndis_load_driver() (which is now deprecated) - used ExAllocatePoolWithTag()/ExFreePool() in lookaside list routines instead of kludged up alloc/free routines - added kern_windrv.c to sys/modules/ndis/Makefile and files.i386.

Commit the first cut of Project Evil, also known as the NDISulator. Yes, it's what you think it is. Yes, you should run away now. This is a special compatibility module for allowing Windows NDIS miniport network drivers to be used with FreeBSD/x86. This provides _binary_ NDIS compatibility (not source): you can run NDIS driver code, but you can't build it. There are three main parts: sys/compat/ndis: the NDIS compat API, which provides binary compatibility functions for many routines in NDIS.SYS, HAL.dll and ntoskrnl.exe in Windows (these are the three modules that most NDIS miniport drivers use). The compat module also contains a small PE relocator/dynalinker which relocates the Windows .SYS image and then patches in our native routines. sys/dev/if_ndis: the if_ndis driver wrapper. This module makes use of the ndis compat API and can be compiled with a specially prepared binary image file (ndis_driver_data.h) containing the Windows .SYS image and registry key information parsed out of the accompanying .INF file. Once if_ndis.ko is built, it can be loaded and unloaded just like a native FreeBSD kenrel module. usr.sbin/ndiscvt: a special utility that converts foo.sys and foo.inf into an ndis_driver_data.h file that can be compiled into if_ndis.o. Contains an .inf file parser graciously provided by Matt Dodd (and mercilessly hacked upon by me) that strips out device ID info and registry key info from a .INF file and packages it up with a binary image array. The ndiscvt(8) utility also does some manipulation of the segments within the .sys file to make life easier for the kernel loader. (Doing the manipulation here saves the kernel code from having to move things around later, which would waste memory.) ndiscvt is only built for the i386 arch. Only files.i386 has been updated, and none of this is turned on in GENERIC. It should probably work on pc98. I have no idea about amd64 or ia64 at this point. This is still a work in progress. I estimate it's about %85 done, but I want it under CVS control so I can track subsequent changes. It has been tested with exactly three drivers: the LinkSys LNE100TX v4 driver (Lne100v4.sys), the sample Intel 82559 driver from the Windows DDK (e100bex.sys) and the Broadcom BCM43xx wireless driver (bcmwl5.sys). It still needs to have a net80211 stuff added to it. To use it, you would do something like this: # cd /sys/modules/ndis # make; make load # cd /sys/modules/if_ndis # ndiscvt -i /path/to/foo.inf -s /path/to/foo.sys -o ndis_driver_data.h # make; make load # sysctl -a | grep ndis All registry keys are mapped to sysctl nodes. Sometimes drivers refer to registry keys that aren't mentioned in foo.inf. If this happens, the NDIS API module creates sysctl nodes for these keys on the fly so you can tweak them. An example usage of the Broadcom wireless driver would be: # sysctl hw.ndis0.EnableAutoConnect=1 # sysctl hw.ndis0.SSID="MY_SSID" # sysctl hw.ndis0.NetworkType=0 (0 for bss, 1 for adhoc) # ifconfig ndis0 <my ipaddr> netmask 0xffffff00 up Things to be done: - get rid of debug messages - add in ndis80211 support - defer transmissions until after a status update with NDIS_STATUS_CONNECTED occurs - Create smarter lookaside list support - Split off if_ndis_pci.c and if_ndis_pccard.c attachments - Make sure PCMCIA support works - Fix ndiscvt to properly parse PCMCIA device IDs from INF files - write ndisapi.9 man page

This commit makes a bunch of changes, some big, some not so big. - Remove the old task threads from kern_ndis.c and reimplement them in subr_ntoskrnl.c, in order to more properly emulate the Windows DPC API. Each CPU gets its own DPC queue/thread, and each queue can have low, medium and high importance DPCs. New APIs implemented: KeSetTargetProcessorDpc(), KeSetImportanceDpc() and KeFlushQueuedDpcs(). (This is the biggest change.) - Fix a bug in NdisMInitializeTimer(): the k_dpc pointer in the nmt_timer embedded in the ndis_miniport_timer struct must be set to point to the DPC, also embedded in the struct. Failing to do this breaks dequeueing of DPCs submitted via timers, and in turn breaks cancelling timers. - Fix a bug in KeCancelTimer(): if the timer is interted in the timer queue (i.e. the timeout callback is still pending), we have to both untimeout() the timer _and_ call KeRemoveQueueDpc() to nuke the DPC that might be pending. Failing to do this breaks cancellation of periodic timers, which always appear to be inserted in the timer queue. - Make use of the nmt_nexttimer field in ndis_miniport_timer: keep a queue of pending timers and cancel them all in ndis_halt_nic(), prior to calling MiniportHalt(). Also call KeFlushQueuedDpcs() to make sure any DPCs queued by the timers have expired. - Modify NdisMAllocateSharedMemory() and NdisMFreeSharedMemory() to keep track of both the virtual and physical addresses of the shared memory buffers that get handed out. The AirGo MIMO driver appears to have a bug in it: for one of the segments is allocates, it returns the wrong virtual address. This would confuse NdisMFreeSharedMemory() and cause a crash. Why it doesn't crash Windows too I have no idea (from reading the documentation for NdisMFreeSharedMemory(), it appears to be a violation of the API). - Implement strstr(), strchr() and MmIsAddressValid(). - Implement IoAllocateWorkItem(), IoFreeWorkItem(), IoQueueWorkItem() and ExQueueWorkItem(). (This is the second biggest change.) - Make NdisScheduleWorkItem() call ExQueueWorkItem(). (Note that the ExQueueWorkItem() API is deprecated by Microsoft, but NDIS still uses it, since NdisScheduleWorkItem() is incompatible with the IoXXXWorkItem() API.) - Change if_ndis.c to use the NdisScheduleWorkItem() interface for scheduling tasks. With all these changes and fixes, the AirGo MIMO driver for the Belkin F5D8010 Pre-N card now works.

Create new i386 windows/bsd thunking layer, similar to the amd64 thunking layer, but with a twist. The twist has to do with the fact that Microsoft supports structured exception handling in kernel mode. On the i386 arch, exception handling is implemented by hanging an exception registration list off the Thread Environment Block (TEB), and the TEB is accessed via the %fs register. The problem is, we use %fs as a pointer to the pcpu stucture, which means any driver that tries to write through %fs:0 will overwrite the curthread pointer and make a serious mess of things. To get around this, Project Evil now creates a special entry in the GDT on each processor. When we call into Windows code, a context switch routine will fix up %fs so it points to our new descriptor, which in turn points to a fake TEB. When the Windows code returns, or calls out to an external routine, we swap %fs back again. Currently, Project Evil makes use of GDT slot 7, which is all 0s by default. I fully expect someone to jump up and say I can't do that, but I couldn't find any code that makes use of this entry anywhere. Sadly, this was the only method I could come up with that worked on both UP and SMP. (Modifying the LDT works on UP, but becomes incredibly complicated on SMP.) If necessary, the context switching stuff can be yanked out while preserving the convention calling wrappers. (Fortunately, it looks like Microsoft uses some special epilog/prolog code on amd64 to implement exception handling, so the same nastiness won't be necessary on that arch.) The advantages are: - Any driver that uses %fs as though it were a TEB pointer won't clobber pcpu. - All the __stdcall/__fastcall/__regparm stuff that's specific to gcc goes away. Also, while I'm here, switch NdisGetSystemUpTime() back to using nanouptime() again. It turns out nanouptime() is way more accurate than just using ticks(). On slower machines, the Atheros drivers I tested seem to take a long time to associate due to the loss in accuracy.

static void
This commit makes a big round of updates and fixes many, many things. First and most importantly, I threw out the thread priority-twiddling implementation of KeRaiseIrql()/KeLowerIrq()/KeGetCurrentIrql() in favor of a new scheme that uses sleep mutexes. The old scheme was really very naughty and sought to provide the same behavior as Windows spinlocks (i.e. blocking pre-emption) but in a way that wouldn't raise the ire of WITNESS. The new scheme represents 'DISPATCH_LEVEL' as the acquisition of a per-cpu sleep mutex. If a thread on cpu0 acquires the 'dispatcher mutex,' it will block any other thread on the same processor that tries to acquire it, in effect only allowing one thread on the processor to be at 'DISPATCH_LEVEL' at any given time. It can then do the 'atomic sit and spin' routine on the spinlock variable itself. If a thread on cpu1 wants to acquire the same spinlock, it acquires the 'dispatcher mutex' for cpu1 and then it too does an atomic sit and spin to try acquiring the spinlock. Unlike real spinlocks, this does not disable pre-emption of all threads on the CPU, but it does put any threads involved with the NDISulator to sleep, which is just as good for our purposes. This means I can now play nice with WITNESS, and I can safely do things like call malloc() when I'm at 'DISPATCH_LEVEL,' which you're allowed to do in Windows. Next, I completely re-wrote most of the event/timer/mutex handling and wait code. KeWaitForSingleObject() and KeWaitForMultipleObjects() have been re-written to use condition variables instead of msleep(). This allows us to use the Windows convention whereby thread A can tell thread B "wake up with a boosted priority." (With msleep(), you instead have thread B saying "when I get woken up, I'll use this priority here," and thread A can't tell it to do otherwise.) The new KeWaitForMultipleObjects() has been better tested and better duplicates the semantics of its Windows counterpart. I also overhauled the IoQueueWorkItem() API and underlying code. Like KeInsertQueueDpc(), IoQueueWorkItem() must insure that the same work item isn't put on the queue twice. ExQueueWorkItem(), which in my implementation is built on top of IoQueueWorkItem(), was also modified to perform a similar test. I renamed the doubly-linked list macros to give them the same names as their Windows counterparts and fixed RemoveListTail() and RemoveListHead() so they properly return the removed item. I also corrected the list handling code in ntoskrnl_dpc_thread() and ntoskrnl_workitem_thread(). I realized that the original logic did not correctly handle the case where a DPC callout tries to queue up another DPC. It works correctly now. I implemented IoConnectInterrupt() and IoDisconnectInterrupt() and modified NdisMRegisterInterrupt() and NdisMDisconnectInterrupt() to use them. I also tried to duplicate the interrupt handling scheme used in Windows. The interrupt handling is now internal to ndis.ko, and the ndis_intr() function has been removed from if_ndis.c. (In the USB case, interrupt handling isn't needed in if_ndis.c anyway.) NdisMSleep() has been rewritten to use a KeWaitForSingleObject() and a KeTimer, which is how it works in Windows. (This is mainly to insure that the NDISulator uses the KeTimer API so I can spot any problems with it that may arise.) KeCancelTimer() has been changed so that it only cancels timers, and does not attempt to cancel a DPC if the timer managed to fire and queue one up before KeCancelTimer() was called. The Windows DDK documentation seems to imply that KeCantelTimer() will also call KeRemoveQueueDpc() if necessary, but it really doesn't. The KeTimer implementation has been rewritten to use the callout API directly instead of timeout()/untimeout(). I still cheat a little in that I have to manage my own small callout timer wheel, but the timer code works more smoothly now. I discovered a race condition using timeout()/untimeout() with periodic timers where untimeout() fails to actually cancel a timer. I don't quite understand where the race is, using callout_init()/callout_reset()/callout_stop() directly seems to fix it. I also discovered and fixed a bug in winx32_wrap.S related to translating _stdcall calls. There are a couple of routines (i.e. the 64-bit arithmetic intrinsics in subr_ntoskrnl) that return 64-bit quantities. On the x86 arch, 64-bit values are returned in the %eax and %edx registers. However, it happens that the ctxsw_utow() routine uses %edx as a scratch register, and x86_stdcall_wrap() and x86_stdcall_call() were only preserving %eax before branching to ctxsw_utow(). This means %edx was getting clobbered in some cases. Curiously, the most noticeable effect of this bug is that the driver for the TI AXC110 chipset would constantly drop and reacquire its link for no apparent reason. Both %eax and %edx are preserved on the stack now. The _fastcall and _regparm wrappers already handled everything correctly. I changed if_ndis to use IoAllocateWorkItem() and IoQueueWorkItem() instead of the NdisScheduleWorkItem() API. This is to avoid possible deadlocks with any drivers that use NdisScheduleWorkItem() themselves. The unicode/ansi conversion handling code has been cleaned up. The internal routines have been moved to subr_ntoskrnl and the RtlXXX routines have been exported so that subr_ndis can call them. This removes the incestuous relationship between the two modules regarding this code and fixes the implementation so that it honors the 'maxlen' fields correctly. (Previously it was possible for NdisUnicodeStringToAnsiString() to possibly clobber memory it didn't own, which was causing many mysterious crashes in the Marvell 8335 driver.) The registry handling code (NdisOpen/Close/ReadConfiguration()) has been fixed to allocate memory for all the parameters it hands out to callers and delete whem when NdisCloseConfiguration() is called. (Previously, it would secretly use a single static buffer.) I also substantially updated if_ndis so that the source can now be built on FreeBSD 7, 6 and 5 without any changes. On FreeBSD 5, only WEP support is enabled. On FreeBSD 6 and 7, WPA-PSK support is enabled. The original WPA code has been updated to fit in more cleanly with the net80211 API, and to eleminate the use of magic numbers. The ndis_80211_setstate() routine now sets a default authmode of OPEN and initializes the RTS threshold and fragmentation threshold. The WPA routines were changed so that the authentication mode is always set first, followed by the cipher. Some drivers depend on the operations being performed in this order. I also added passthrough ioctls that allow application code to directly call the MiniportSetInformation()/MiniportQueryInformation() methods via ndis_set_info() and ndis_get_info(). The ndis_linksts() routine also caches the last 4 events signalled by the driver via NdisMIndicateStatus(), and they can be queried by an application via a separate ioctl. This is done to allow wpa_supplicant to directly program the various crypto and key management options in the driver, allowing things like WPA2 support to work. Whew.

ndis_intrsetup(dpc, dobj, ip, sc)
Finally bring an end to the great "make the Atheros NDIS driver work on SMP" saga. After several weeks and much gnashing of teeth, I have finally tracked down all the problems, despite their best efforts to confound and annoy me. Problem nunmber one: the Atheros windows driver is _NOT_ a de-serialized miniport! It used to be that NDIS drivers relied on the NDIS library itself for all their locking and serialization needs. Transmit packet queues were all handled internally by NDIS, and all calls to MiniportXXX() routines were guaranteed to be appropriately serialized. This proved to be a performance problem however, and Microsoft introduced de-serialized miniports with the NDIS 5.x spec. Microsoft still supports serialized miniports, but recommends that all new drivers written for Windows XP and later be deserialized. Apparently Atheros wasn't listening when they said this. This means (among other things) that we have to serialize calls to MiniportSendPackets(). We also have to serialize calls to MiniportTimer() that are triggered via the NdisMInitializeTimer() routine. It finally dawned on me why NdisMInitializeTimer() takes a special NDIS_MINIPORT_TIMER structure and a pointer to the miniport block: the timer callback must be serialized, and it's only by saving the miniport block handle that we can get access to the serialization lock during the timer callback. Problem number two: haunted hardware. The thing that was _really_ driving me absolutely bonkers for the longest time is that, for some reason I couldn't understand, my test machine would occasionally freeze or more frustratingly, reset completely. That's reset and in *pow!* back to the BIOS startup. No panic, no crashdump, just a reset. This appeared to happen most often when MiniportReset() was called. (As to why MiniportReset() was being called, see problem three below.) I thought maybe I had created some sort of horrible deadlock condition in the process of adding the serialization, but after three weeks, at least 6 different locking implementations and heroic efforts to debug the spinlock code, the machine still kept resetting. Finally, I started single stepping through the MiniportReset() routine in the driver using the kernel debugger, and this ultimately led me to the source of the problem. One of the last things the Atheros MiniportReset() routine does is call NdisReadPciSlotInformation() several times to inspect a portion of the device's PCI config space. It reads the same chunk of config space repeatedly, in rapid succession. Presumeably, it's polling the hardware for some sort of event. The reset occurs partway through this process. I discovered that when I single-stepped through this portion of the routine, the reset didn't occur. So I inserted a 1 microsecond delay into the read loop in NdisReadPciSlotInformation(). Suddenly, the reset was gone!! I'm still very puzzled by the whole thing. What I suspect is happening is that reading the PCI config space so quickly is causing a severe PCI bus error. My test system is a Sun w2100z dual Opteron system, and the NIC is a miniPCI card mounted in a miniPCI-to-PCI carrier card, plugged into a 100Mhz PCI slot. It's possible that this combination of hardware causes a bus protocol violation in this scenario which leads to a fatal machine check. This is pure speculation though. Really all I know for sure is that inserting the delay makes the problem go away. (To quote Homer Simpson: "I don't know how it works, but fire makes it good!") Problem number three: NdisAllocatePacket() needs to make sure to initialize the npp_validcounts field in the 'private' section of the NDIS_PACKET structure. The reason if_ndis was calling the MiniportReset() routine in the first place is that packet transmits were sometimes hanging. When sending a packet, an NDIS driver will call NdisQueryPacket() to learn how many physical buffers the packet resides in. NdisQueryPacket() is actually a macro, which traverses the NDIS_BUFFER list attached to the NDIS_PACKET and stashes some of the results in the 'private' section of the NDIS_PACKET. It also sets the npp_validcounts field to TRUE To indicate that the results are now valid. The problem is, now that if_ndis creates a pool of transmit packets via NdisAllocatePacketPool(), it's important that each time a new packet is allocated via NdisAllocatePacket() that validcounts be initialized to FALSE. If it isn't, and a previously transmitted NDIS_PACKET is pulled out of the pool, it may contain stale data from a previous transmission which won't get updated by NdisQueryPacket(). This would cause the driver to miscompute the number of fragments for a given packet, and botch the transmission. Fixing these three problems seems to make the Atheros driver happy on SMP, which hopefully means other serialized miniports will be happy too. And there was much rejoicing. Other stuff fixed along the way: - Modified ndis_thsuspend() to take a mutex as an argument. This allows KeWaitForSingleObject() and KeWaitForMultipleObjects() to avoid any possible race conditions with other routines that use the dispatcher lock. - Fixed KeCancelTimer() so that it returns the correct value for 'pending' according to the Microsoft documentation - Modfied NdisGetSystemUpTime() to use ticks and hz rather than calling nanouptime(). Also added comment that this routine wraps after 49.7 days. - Added macros for KeAcquireSpinLock()/KeReleaseSpinLock() to hide all the MSCALL() goop. - For x86, KeAcquireSpinLockRaiseToDpc() needs to be a separate function. This is because it's supposed to be _stdcall on the x86 arch, whereas KeAcquireSpinLock() is supposed to be _fastcall. On amd64, all routines use the same calling convention so we can just map KeAcquireSpinLockRaiseToDpc() directly to KfAcquireSpinLock() and it will work. (The _fastcall attribute is a no-op on amd64.) - Implement and use IoInitializeDpcRequest() and IoRequestDpc() (they're just macros) and use them for interrupt handling. This allows us to move the ndis_intrtask() routine from if_ndis.c to kern_ndis.c. - Fix the MmInitializeMdl() macro so that is uses sizeof(vm_offset_t) when computing mdl_size instead of uint32_t, so that it matches the MmSizeOfMdl() routine. - Change a could of M_WAITOKs to M_NOWAITs in the unicode routines in subr_ndis.c. - Use the dispatcher lock a little more consistently in subr_ntoskrnl.c. - Get rid of the "wait for link event" hack in ndis_init(). Now that I fixed NdisReadPciSlotInformation(), it seems I don't need it anymore. This should fix the witness panic a couple of people have reported. - Use MSCALL1() when calling the MiniportHangCheck() function in ndis_ticktask(). I accidentally missed this one when adding the wrapping for amd64.

Commit the first cut of Project Evil, also known as the NDISulator. Yes, it's what you think it is. Yes, you should run away now. This is a special compatibility module for allowing Windows NDIS miniport network drivers to be used with FreeBSD/x86. This provides _binary_ NDIS compatibility (not source): you can run NDIS driver code, but you can't build it. There are three main parts: sys/compat/ndis: the NDIS compat API, which provides binary compatibility functions for many routines in NDIS.SYS, HAL.dll and ntoskrnl.exe in Windows (these are the three modules that most NDIS miniport drivers use). The compat module also contains a small PE relocator/dynalinker which relocates the Windows .SYS image and then patches in our native routines. sys/dev/if_ndis: the if_ndis driver wrapper. This module makes use of the ndis compat API and can be compiled with a specially prepared binary image file (ndis_driver_data.h) containing the Windows .SYS image and registry key information parsed out of the accompanying .INF file. Once if_ndis.ko is built, it can be loaded and unloaded just like a native FreeBSD kenrel module. usr.sbin/ndiscvt: a special utility that converts foo.sys and foo.inf into an ndis_driver_data.h file that can be compiled into if_ndis.o. Contains an .inf file parser graciously provided by Matt Dodd (and mercilessly hacked upon by me) that strips out device ID info and registry key info from a .INF file and packages it up with a binary image array. The ndiscvt(8) utility also does some manipulation of the segments within the .sys file to make life easier for the kernel loader. (Doing the manipulation here saves the kernel code from having to move things around later, which would waste memory.) ndiscvt is only built for the i386 arch. Only files.i386 has been updated, and none of this is turned on in GENERIC. It should probably work on pc98. I have no idea about amd64 or ia64 at this point. This is still a work in progress. I estimate it's about %85 done, but I want it under CVS control so I can track subsequent changes. It has been tested with exactly three drivers: the LinkSys LNE100TX v4 driver (Lne100v4.sys), the sample Intel 82559 driver from the Windows DDK (e100bex.sys) and the Broadcom BCM43xx wireless driver (bcmwl5.sys). It still needs to have a net80211 stuff added to it. To use it, you would do something like this: # cd /sys/modules/ndis # make; make load # cd /sys/modules/if_ndis # ndiscvt -i /path/to/foo.inf -s /path/to/foo.sys -o ndis_driver_data.h # make; make load # sysctl -a | grep ndis All registry keys are mapped to sysctl nodes. Sometimes drivers refer to registry keys that aren't mentioned in foo.inf. If this happens, the NDIS API module creates sysctl nodes for these keys on the fly so you can tweak them. An example usage of the Broadcom wireless driver would be: # sysctl hw.ndis0.EnableAutoConnect=1 # sysctl hw.ndis0.SSID="MY_SSID" # sysctl hw.ndis0.NetworkType=0 (0 for bss, 1 for adhoc) # ifconfig ndis0 <my ipaddr> netmask 0xffffff00 up Things to be done: - get rid of debug messages - add in ndis80211 support - defer transmissions until after a status update with NDIS_STATUS_CONNECTED occurs - Create smarter lookaside list support - Split off if_ndis_pci.c and if_ndis_pccard.c attachments - Make sure PCMCIA support works - Fix ndiscvt to properly parse PCMCIA device IDs from INF files - write ndisapi.9 man page

Finally bring an end to the great "make the Atheros NDIS driver work on SMP" saga. After several weeks and much gnashing of teeth, I have finally tracked down all the problems, despite their best efforts to confound and annoy me. Problem nunmber one: the Atheros windows driver is _NOT_ a de-serialized miniport! It used to be that NDIS drivers relied on the NDIS library itself for all their locking and serialization needs. Transmit packet queues were all handled internally by NDIS, and all calls to MiniportXXX() routines were guaranteed to be appropriately serialized. This proved to be a performance problem however, and Microsoft introduced de-serialized miniports with the NDIS 5.x spec. Microsoft still supports serialized miniports, but recommends that all new drivers written for Windows XP and later be deserialized. Apparently Atheros wasn't listening when they said this. This means (among other things) that we have to serialize calls to MiniportSendPackets(). We also have to serialize calls to MiniportTimer() that are triggered via the NdisMInitializeTimer() routine. It finally dawned on me why NdisMInitializeTimer() takes a special NDIS_MINIPORT_TIMER structure and a pointer to the miniport block: the timer callback must be serialized, and it's only by saving the miniport block handle that we can get access to the serialization lock during the timer callback. Problem number two: haunted hardware. The thing that was _really_ driving me absolutely bonkers for the longest time is that, for some reason I couldn't understand, my test machine would occasionally freeze or more frustratingly, reset completely. That's reset and in *pow!* back to the BIOS startup. No panic, no crashdump, just a reset. This appeared to happen most often when MiniportReset() was called. (As to why MiniportReset() was being called, see problem three below.) I thought maybe I had created some sort of horrible deadlock condition in the process of adding the serialization, but after three weeks, at least 6 different locking implementations and heroic efforts to debug the spinlock code, the machine still kept resetting. Finally, I started single stepping through the MiniportReset() routine in the driver using the kernel debugger, and this ultimately led me to the source of the problem. One of the last things the Atheros MiniportReset() routine does is call NdisReadPciSlotInformation() several times to inspect a portion of the device's PCI config space. It reads the same chunk of config space repeatedly, in rapid succession. Presumeably, it's polling the hardware for some sort of event. The reset occurs partway through this process. I discovered that when I single-stepped through this portion of the routine, the reset didn't occur. So I inserted a 1 microsecond delay into the read loop in NdisReadPciSlotInformation(). Suddenly, the reset was gone!! I'm still very puzzled by the whole thing. What I suspect is happening is that reading the PCI config space so quickly is causing a severe PCI bus error. My test system is a Sun w2100z dual Opteron system, and the NIC is a miniPCI card mounted in a miniPCI-to-PCI carrier card, plugged into a 100Mhz PCI slot. It's possible that this combination of hardware causes a bus protocol violation in this scenario which leads to a fatal machine check. This is pure speculation though. Really all I know for sure is that inserting the delay makes the problem go away. (To quote Homer Simpson: "I don't know how it works, but fire makes it good!") Problem number three: NdisAllocatePacket() needs to make sure to initialize the npp_validcounts field in the 'private' section of the NDIS_PACKET structure. The reason if_ndis was calling the MiniportReset() routine in the first place is that packet transmits were sometimes hanging. When sending a packet, an NDIS driver will call NdisQueryPacket() to learn how many physical buffers the packet resides in. NdisQueryPacket() is actually a macro, which traverses the NDIS_BUFFER list attached to the NDIS_PACKET and stashes some of the results in the 'private' section of the NDIS_PACKET. It also sets the npp_validcounts field to TRUE To indicate that the results are now valid. The problem is, now that if_ndis creates a pool of transmit packets via NdisAllocatePacketPool(), it's important that each time a new packet is allocated via NdisAllocatePacket() that validcounts be initialized to FALSE. If it isn't, and a previously transmitted NDIS_PACKET is pulled out of the pool, it may contain stale data from a previous transmission which won't get updated by NdisQueryPacket(). This would cause the driver to miscompute the number of fragments for a given packet, and botch the transmission. Fixing these three problems seems to make the Atheros driver happy on SMP, which hopefully means other serialized miniports will be happy too. And there was much rejoicing. Other stuff fixed along the way: - Modified ndis_thsuspend() to take a mutex as an argument. This allows KeWaitForSingleObject() and KeWaitForMultipleObjects() to avoid any possible race conditions with other routines that use the dispatcher lock. - Fixed KeCancelTimer() so that it returns the correct value for 'pending' according to the Microsoft documentation - Modfied NdisGetSystemUpTime() to use ticks and hz rather than calling nanouptime(). Also added comment that this routine wraps after 49.7 days. - Added macros for KeAcquireSpinLock()/KeReleaseSpinLock() to hide all the MSCALL() goop. - For x86, KeAcquireSpinLockRaiseToDpc() needs to be a separate function. This is because it's supposed to be _stdcall on the x86 arch, whereas KeAcquireSpinLock() is supposed to be _fastcall. On amd64, all routines use the same calling convention so we can just map KeAcquireSpinLockRaiseToDpc() directly to KfAcquireSpinLock() and it will work. (The _fastcall attribute is a no-op on amd64.) - Implement and use IoInitializeDpcRequest() and IoRequestDpc() (they're just macros) and use them for interrupt handling. This allows us to move the ndis_intrtask() routine from if_ndis.c to kern_ndis.c. - Fix the MmInitializeMdl() macro so that is uses sizeof(vm_offset_t) when computing mdl_size instead of uint32_t, so that it matches the MmSizeOfMdl() routine. - Change a could of M_WAITOKs to M_NOWAITs in the unicode routines in subr_ndis.c. - Use the dispatcher lock a little more consistently in subr_ntoskrnl.c. - Get rid of the "wait for link event" hack in ndis_init(). Now that I fixed NdisReadPciSlotInformation(), it seems I don't need it anymore. This should fix the witness panic a couple of people have reported. - Use MSCALL1() when calling the MiniportHangCheck() function in ndis_ticktask(). I accidentally missed this one when adding the wrapping for amd64.

This commit makes a big round of updates and fixes many, many things. First and most importantly, I threw out the thread priority-twiddling implementation of KeRaiseIrql()/KeLowerIrq()/KeGetCurrentIrql() in favor of a new scheme that uses sleep mutexes. The old scheme was really very naughty and sought to provide the same behavior as Windows spinlocks (i.e. blocking pre-emption) but in a way that wouldn't raise the ire of WITNESS. The new scheme represents 'DISPATCH_LEVEL' as the acquisition of a per-cpu sleep mutex. If a thread on cpu0 acquires the 'dispatcher mutex,' it will block any other thread on the same processor that tries to acquire it, in effect only allowing one thread on the processor to be at 'DISPATCH_LEVEL' at any given time. It can then do the 'atomic sit and spin' routine on the spinlock variable itself. If a thread on cpu1 wants to acquire the same spinlock, it acquires the 'dispatcher mutex' for cpu1 and then it too does an atomic sit and spin to try acquiring the spinlock. Unlike real spinlocks, this does not disable pre-emption of all threads on the CPU, but it does put any threads involved with the NDISulator to sleep, which is just as good for our purposes. This means I can now play nice with WITNESS, and I can safely do things like call malloc() when I'm at 'DISPATCH_LEVEL,' which you're allowed to do in Windows. Next, I completely re-wrote most of the event/timer/mutex handling and wait code. KeWaitForSingleObject() and KeWaitForMultipleObjects() have been re-written to use condition variables instead of msleep(). This allows us to use the Windows convention whereby thread A can tell thread B "wake up with a boosted priority." (With msleep(), you instead have thread B saying "when I get woken up, I'll use this priority here," and thread A can't tell it to do otherwise.) The new KeWaitForMultipleObjects() has been better tested and better duplicates the semantics of its Windows counterpart. I also overhauled the IoQueueWorkItem() API and underlying code. Like KeInsertQueueDpc(), IoQueueWorkItem() must insure that the same work item isn't put on the queue twice. ExQueueWorkItem(), which in my implementation is built on top of IoQueueWorkItem(), was also modified to perform a similar test. I renamed the doubly-linked list macros to give them the same names as their Windows counterparts and fixed RemoveListTail() and RemoveListHead() so they properly return the removed item. I also corrected the list handling code in ntoskrnl_dpc_thread() and ntoskrnl_workitem_thread(). I realized that the original logic did not correctly handle the case where a DPC callout tries to queue up another DPC. It works correctly now. I implemented IoConnectInterrupt() and IoDisconnectInterrupt() and modified NdisMRegisterInterrupt() and NdisMDisconnectInterrupt() to use them. I also tried to duplicate the interrupt handling scheme used in Windows. The interrupt handling is now internal to ndis.ko, and the ndis_intr() function has been removed from if_ndis.c. (In the USB case, interrupt handling isn't needed in if_ndis.c anyway.) NdisMSleep() has been rewritten to use a KeWaitForSingleObject() and a KeTimer, which is how it works in Windows. (This is mainly to insure that the NDISulator uses the KeTimer API so I can spot any problems with it that may arise.) KeCancelTimer() has been changed so that it only cancels timers, and does not attempt to cancel a DPC if the timer managed to fire and queue one up before KeCancelTimer() was called. The Windows DDK documentation seems to imply that KeCantelTimer() will also call KeRemoveQueueDpc() if necessary, but it really doesn't. The KeTimer implementation has been rewritten to use the callout API directly instead of timeout()/untimeout(). I still cheat a little in that I have to manage my own small callout timer wheel, but the timer code works more smoothly now. I discovered a race condition using timeout()/untimeout() with periodic timers where untimeout() fails to actually cancel a timer. I don't quite understand where the race is, using callout_init()/callout_reset()/callout_stop() directly seems to fix it. I also discovered and fixed a bug in winx32_wrap.S related to translating _stdcall calls. There are a couple of routines (i.e. the 64-bit arithmetic intrinsics in subr_ntoskrnl) that return 64-bit quantities. On the x86 arch, 64-bit values are returned in the %eax and %edx registers. However, it happens that the ctxsw_utow() routine uses %edx as a scratch register, and x86_stdcall_wrap() and x86_stdcall_call() were only preserving %eax before branching to ctxsw_utow(). This means %edx was getting clobbered in some cases. Curiously, the most noticeable effect of this bug is that the driver for the TI AXC110 chipset would constantly drop and reacquire its link for no apparent reason. Both %eax and %edx are preserved on the stack now. The _fastcall and _regparm wrappers already handled everything correctly. I changed if_ndis to use IoAllocateWorkItem() and IoQueueWorkItem() instead of the NdisScheduleWorkItem() API. This is to avoid possible deadlocks with any drivers that use NdisScheduleWorkItem() themselves. The unicode/ansi conversion handling code has been cleaned up. The internal routines have been moved to subr_ntoskrnl and the RtlXXX routines have been exported so that subr_ndis can call them. This removes the incestuous relationship between the two modules regarding this code and fixes the implementation so that it honors the 'maxlen' fields correctly. (Previously it was possible for NdisUnicodeStringToAnsiString() to possibly clobber memory it didn't own, which was causing many mysterious crashes in the Marvell 8335 driver.) The registry handling code (NdisOpen/Close/ReadConfiguration()) has been fixed to allocate memory for all the parameters it hands out to callers and delete whem when NdisCloseConfiguration() is called. (Previously, it would secretly use a single static buffer.) I also substantially updated if_ndis so that the source can now be built on FreeBSD 7, 6 and 5 without any changes. On FreeBSD 5, only WEP support is enabled. On FreeBSD 6 and 7, WPA-PSK support is enabled. The original WPA code has been updated to fit in more cleanly with the net80211 API, and to eleminate the use of magic numbers. The ndis_80211_setstate() routine now sets a default authmode of OPEN and initializes the RTS threshold and fragmentation threshold. The WPA routines were changed so that the authentication mode is always set first, followed by the cipher. Some drivers depend on the operations being performed in this order. I also added passthrough ioctls that allow application code to directly call the MiniportSetInformation()/MiniportQueryInformation() methods via ndis_set_info() and ndis_get_info(). The ndis_linksts() routine also caches the last 4 events signalled by the driver via NdisMIndicateStatus(), and they can be queried by an application via a separate ioctl. This is done to allow wpa_supplicant to directly program the various crypto and key management options in the driver, allowing things like WPA2 support to work. Whew.

I don't quite understand where the race is, using callout_init()/callout_reset()/callout_stop() directly seems to fix it. I also discovered and fixed a bug in winx32_wrap.S related to translating _stdcall calls. There are a couple of routines (i.e. the 64-bit arithmetic intrinsics in subr_ntoskrnl) that return 64-bit quantities. On the x86 arch, 64-bit values are returned in the %eax and %edx registers. However, it happens that the ctxsw_utow() routine uses %edx as a scratch register, and x86_stdcall_wrap() and x86_stdcall_call() were only preserving %eax before branching to ctxsw_utow(). This means %edx was getting clobbered in some cases. Curiously, the most noticeable effect of this bug is that the driver for the TI AXC110 chipset would constantly drop and reacquire its link for no apparent reason. Both %eax and %edx are preserved on the stack now. The _fastcall and _regparm wrappers already handled everything correctly. I changed if_ndis to use IoAllocateWorkItem() and IoQueueWorkItem() instead of the NdisScheduleWorkItem() API. This is to avoid possible deadlocks with any drivers that use NdisScheduleWorkItem() themselves. The unicode/ansi conversion handling code has been cleaned up. The internal routines have been moved to subr_ntoskrnl and the RtlXXX routines have been exported so that subr_ndis can call them. This removes the incestuous relationship between the two modules regarding this code and fixes the implementation so that it honors the 'maxlen' fields correctly. (Previously it was possible for NdisUnicodeStringToAnsiString() to possibly clobber memory it didn't own, which was causing many mysterious crashes in the Marvell 8335 driver.) The registry handling code (NdisOpen/Close/ReadConfiguration()) has been fixed to allocate memory for all the parameters it hands out to callers and delete whem when NdisCloseConfiguration() is called. (Previously, it would secretly use a single static buffer.) I also substantially updated if_ndis so that the source can now be built on FreeBSD 7, 6 and 5 without any changes. On FreeBSD 5, only WEP support is enabled. On FreeBSD 6 and 7, WPA-PSK support is enabled. The original WPA code has been updated to fit in more cleanly with the net80211 API, and to eleminate the use of magic numbers. The ndis_80211_setstate() routine now sets a default authmode of OPEN and initializes the RTS threshold and fragmentation threshold. The WPA routines were changed so that the authentication mode is always set first, followed by the cipher. Some drivers depend on the operations being performed in this order. I also added passthrough ioctls that allow application code to directly call the MiniportSetInformation()/MiniportQueryInformation() methods via ndis_set_info() and ndis_get_info(). The ndis_linksts() routine also caches the last 4 events signalled by the driver via NdisMIndicateStatus(), and they can be queried by an application via a separate ioctl. This is done to allow wpa_supplicant to directly program the various crypto and key management options in the driver, allowing things like WPA2 support to work. Whew.

/* Sanity check. */
Finally bring an end to the great "make the Atheros NDIS driver work on SMP" saga. After several weeks and much gnashing of teeth, I have finally tracked down all the problems, despite their best efforts to confound and annoy me. Problem nunmber one: the Atheros windows driver is _NOT_ a de-serialized miniport! It used to be that NDIS drivers relied on the NDIS library itself for all their locking and serialization needs. Transmit packet queues were all handled internally by NDIS, and all calls to MiniportXXX() routines were guaranteed to be appropriately serialized. This proved to be a performance problem however, and Microsoft introduced de-serialized miniports with the NDIS 5.x spec. Microsoft still supports serialized miniports, but recommends that all new drivers written for Windows XP and later be deserialized. Apparently Atheros wasn't listening when they said this. This means (among other things) that we have to serialize calls to MiniportSendPackets(). We also have to serialize calls to MiniportTimer() that are triggered via the NdisMInitializeTimer() routine. It finally dawned on me why NdisMInitializeTimer() takes a special NDIS_MINIPORT_TIMER structure and a pointer to the miniport block: the timer callback must be serialized, and it's only by saving the miniport block handle that we can get access to the serialization lock during the timer callback. Problem number two: haunted hardware. The thing that was _really_ driving me absolutely bonkers for the longest time is that, for some reason I couldn't understand, my test machine would occasionally freeze or more frustratingly, reset completely. That's reset and in *pow!* back to the BIOS startup. No panic, no crashdump, just a reset. This appeared to happen most often when MiniportReset() was called. (As to why MiniportReset() was being called, see problem three below.) I thought maybe I had created some sort of horrible deadlock condition in the process of adding the serialization, but after three weeks, at least 6 different locking implementations and heroic efforts to debug the spinlock code, the machine still kept resetting. Finally, I started single stepping through the MiniportReset() routine in the driver using the kernel debugger, and this ultimately led me to the source of the problem. One of the last things the Atheros MiniportReset() routine does is call NdisReadPciSlotInformation() several times to inspect a portion of the device's PCI config space. It reads the same chunk of config space repeatedly, in rapid succession. Presumeably, it's polling the hardware for some sort of event. The reset occurs partway through this process. I discovered that when I single-stepped through this portion of the routine, the reset didn't occur. So I inserted a 1 microsecond delay into the read loop in NdisReadPciSlotInformation(). Suddenly, the reset was gone!! I'm still very puzzled by the whole thing. What I suspect is happening is that reading the PCI config space so quickly is causing a severe PCI bus error. My test system is a Sun w2100z dual Opteron system, and the NIC is a miniPCI card mounted in a miniPCI-to-PCI carrier card, plugged into a 100Mhz PCI slot. It's possible that this combination of hardware causes a bus protocol violation in this scenario which leads to a fatal machine check. This is pure speculation though. Really all I know for sure is that inserting the delay makes the problem go away. (To quote Homer Simpson: "I don't know how it works, but fire makes it good!") Problem number three: NdisAllocatePacket() needs to make sure to initialize the npp_validcounts field in the 'private' section of the NDIS_PACKET structure. The reason if_ndis was calling the MiniportReset() routine in the first place is that packet transmits were sometimes hanging. When sending a packet, an NDIS driver will call NdisQueryPacket() to learn how many physical buffers the packet resides in. NdisQueryPacket() is actually a macro, which traverses the NDIS_BUFFER list attached to the NDIS_PACKET and stashes some of the results in the 'private' section of the NDIS_PACKET. It also sets the npp_validcounts field to TRUE To indicate that the results are now valid. The problem is, now that if_ndis creates a pool of transmit packets via NdisAllocatePacketPool(), it's important that each time a new packet is allocated via NdisAllocatePacket() that validcounts be initialized to FALSE. If it isn't, and a previously transmitted NDIS_PACKET is pulled out of the pool, it may contain stale data from a previous transmission which won't get updated by NdisQueryPacket(). This would cause the driver to miscompute the number of fragments for a given packet, and botch the transmission. Fixing these three problems seems to make the Atheros driver happy on SMP, which hopefully means other serialized miniports will be happy too. And there was much rejoicing. Other stuff fixed along the way: - Modified ndis_thsuspend() to take a mutex as an argument. This allows KeWaitForSingleObject() and KeWaitForMultipleObjects() to avoid any possible race conditions with other routines that use the dispatcher lock. - Fixed KeCancelTimer() so that it returns the correct value for 'pending' according to the Microsoft documentation - Modfied NdisGetSystemUpTime() to use ticks and hz rather than calling nanouptime(). Also added comment that this routine wraps after 49.7 days. - Added macros for KeAcquireSpinLock()/KeReleaseSpinLock() to hide all the MSCALL() goop. - For x86, KeAcquireSpinLockRaiseToDpc() needs to be a separate function. This is because it's supposed to be _stdcall on the x86 arch, whereas KeAcquireSpinLock() is supposed to be _fastcall. On amd64, all routines use the same calling convention so we can just map KeAcquireSpinLockRaiseToDpc() directly to KfAcquireSpinLock() and it will work. (The _fastcall attribute is a no-op on amd64.) - Implement and use IoInitializeDpcRequest() and IoRequestDpc() (they're just macros) and use them for interrupt handling. This allows us to move the ndis_intrtask() routine from if_ndis.c to kern_ndis.c. - Fix the MmInitializeMdl() macro so that is uses sizeof(vm_offset_t) when computing mdl_size instead of uint32_t, so that it matches the MmSizeOfMdl() routine. - Change a could of M_WAITOKs to M_NOWAITs in the unicode routines in subr_ndis.c. - Use the dispatcher lock a little more consistently in subr_ntoskrnl.c. - Get rid of the "wait for link event" hack in ndis_init(). Now that I fixed NdisReadPciSlotInformation(), it seems I don't need it anymore. This should fix the witness panic a couple of people have reported. - Use MSCALL1() when calling the MiniportHangCheck() function in ndis_ticktask(). I accidentally missed this one when adding the wrapping for amd64.

This commit makes a big round of updates and fixes many, many things. First and most importantly, I threw out the thread priority-twiddling implementation of KeRaiseIrql()/KeLowerIrq()/KeGetCurrentIrql() in favor of a new scheme that uses sleep mutexes. The old scheme was really very naughty and sought to provide the same behavior as Windows spinlocks (i.e. blocking pre-emption) but in a way that wouldn't raise the ire of WITNESS. The new scheme represents 'DISPATCH_LEVEL' as the acquisition of a per-cpu sleep mutex. If a thread on cpu0 acquires the 'dispatcher mutex,' it will block any other thread on the same processor that tries to acquire it, in effect only allowing one thread on the processor to be at 'DISPATCH_LEVEL' at any given time. It can then do the 'atomic sit and spin' routine on the spinlock variable itself. If a thread on cpu1 wants to acquire the same spinlock, it acquires the 'dispatcher mutex' for cpu1 and then it too does an atomic sit and spin to try acquiring the spinlock. Unlike real spinlocks, this does not disable pre-emption of all threads on the CPU, but it does put any threads involved with the NDISulator to sleep, which is just as good for our purposes. This means I can now play nice with WITNESS, and I can safely do things like call malloc() when I'm at 'DISPATCH_LEVEL,' which you're allowed to do in Windows. Next, I completely re-wrote most of the event/timer/mutex handling and wait code. KeWaitForSingleObject() and KeWaitForMultipleObjects() have been re-written to use condition variables instead of msleep(). This allows us to use the Windows convention whereby thread A can tell thread B "wake up with a boosted priority." (With msleep(), you instead have thread B saying "when I get woken up, I'll use this priority here," and thread A can't tell it to do otherwise.) The new KeWaitForMultipleObjects() has been better tested and better duplicates the semantics of its Windows counterpart. I also overhauled the IoQueueWorkItem() API and underlying code. Like KeInsertQueueDpc(), IoQueueWorkItem() must insure that the same work item isn't put on the queue twice. ExQueueWorkItem(), which in my implementation is built on top of IoQueueWorkItem(), was also modified to perform a similar test. I renamed the doubly-linked list macros to give them the same names as their Windows counterparts and fixed RemoveListTail() and RemoveListHead() so they properly return the removed item. I also corrected the list handling code in ntoskrnl_dpc_thread() and ntoskrnl_workitem_thread(). I realized that the original logic did not correctly handle the case where a DPC callout tries to queue up another DPC. It works correctly now. I implemented IoConnectInterrupt() and IoDisconnectInterrupt() and modified NdisMRegisterInterrupt() and NdisMDisconnectInterrupt() to use them. I also tried to duplicate the interrupt handling scheme used in Windows. The interrupt handling is now internal to ndis.ko, and the ndis_intr() function has been removed from if_ndis.c. (In the USB case, interrupt handling isn't needed in if_ndis.c anyway.) NdisMSleep() has been rewritten to use a KeWaitForSingleObject() and a KeTimer, which is how it works in Windows. (This is mainly to insure that the NDISulator uses the KeTimer API so I can spot any problems with it that may arise.) KeCancelTimer() has been changed so that it only cancels timers, and does not attempt to cancel a DPC if the timer managed to fire and queue one up before KeCancelTimer() was called. The Windows DDK documentation seems to imply that KeCantelTimer() will also call KeRemoveQueueDpc() if necessary, but it really doesn't. The KeTimer implementation has been rewritten to use the callout API directly instead of timeout()/untimeout(). I still cheat a little in that I have to manage my own small callout timer wheel, but the timer code works more smoothly now. I discovered a race condition using timeout()/untimeout() with periodic timers where untimeout() fails to actually cancel a timer. I don't quite understand where the race is, using callout_init()/callout_reset()/callout_stop() directly seems to fix it. I also discovered and fixed a bug in winx32_wrap.S related to translating _stdcall calls. There are a couple of routines (i.e. the 64-bit arithmetic intrinsics in subr_ntoskrnl) that return 64-bit quantities. On the x86 arch, 64-bit values are returned in the %eax and %edx registers. However, it happens that the ctxsw_utow() routine uses %edx as a scratch register, and x86_stdcall_wrap() and x86_stdcall_call() were only preserving %eax before branching to ctxsw_utow(). This means %edx was getting clobbered in some cases. Curiously, the most noticeable effect of this bug is that the driver for the TI AXC110 chipset would constantly drop and reacquire its link for no apparent reason. Both %eax and %edx are preserved on the stack now. The _fastcall and _regparm wrappers already handled everything correctly. I changed if_ndis to use IoAllocateWorkItem() and IoQueueWorkItem() instead of the NdisScheduleWorkItem() API. This is to avoid possible deadlocks with any drivers that use NdisScheduleWorkItem() themselves. The unicode/ansi conversion handling code has been cleaned up. The internal routines have been moved to subr_ntoskrnl and the RtlXXX routines have been exported so that subr_ndis can call them. This removes the incestuous relationship between the two modules regarding this code and fixes the implementation so that it honors the 'maxlen' fields correctly. (Previously it was possible for NdisUnicodeStringToAnsiString() to possibly clobber memory it didn't own, which was causing many mysterious crashes in the Marvell 8335 driver.) The registry handling code (NdisOpen/Close/ReadConfiguration()) has been fixed to allocate memory for all the parameters it hands out to callers and delete whem when NdisCloseConfiguration() is called. (Previously, it would secretly use a single static buffer.) I also substantially updated if_ndis so that the source can now be built on FreeBSD 7, 6 and 5 without any changes. On FreeBSD 5, only WEP support is enabled. On FreeBSD 6 and 7, WPA-PSK support is enabled. The original WPA code has been updated to fit in more cleanly with the net80211 API, and to eleminate the use of magic numbers. The ndis_80211_setstate() routine now sets a default authmode of OPEN and initializes the RTS threshold and fragmentation threshold. The WPA routines were changed so that the authentication mode is always set first, followed by the cipher. Some drivers depend on the operations being performed in this order. I also added passthrough ioctls that allow application code to directly call the MiniportSetInformation()/MiniportQueryInformation() methods via ndis_set_info() and ndis_get_info().

The new scheme represents 'DISPATCH_LEVEL' as the acquisition of a per-cpu sleep mutex. If a thread on cpu0 acquires the 'dispatcher mutex,' it will block any other thread on the same processor that tries to acquire it, in effect only allowing one thread on the processor to be at 'DISPATCH_LEVEL' at any given time. It can then do the 'atomic sit and spin' routine on the spinlock variable itself. If a thread on cpu1 wants to acquire the same spinlock, it acquires the 'dispatcher mutex' for cpu1 and then it too does an atomic sit and spin to try acquiring the spinlock. Unlike real spinlocks, this does not disable pre-emption of all threads on the CPU, but it does put any threads involved with the NDISulator to sleep, which is just as good for our purposes. This means I can now play nice with WITNESS, and I can safely do things like call malloc() when I'm at 'DISPATCH_LEVEL,' which you're allowed to do in Windows.

KeWaitForSingleObject() and KeWaitForMultipleObjects() have been re-written to use condition variables instead of msleep(). This allows us to use the Windows convention whereby thread A can tell thread B "wake up with a boosted priority."

That's reset and in *pow!* back to the BIOS startup. No panic, no crashdump, just a reset. This appeared to happen most often when MiniportReset() was called. (As to why MiniportReset() was being called, see problem three below.) I thought maybe I had created some sort of horrible deadlock condition in the process of adding the serialization, but after three weeks, at least 6 different locking implementations and heroic efforts to debug the spinlock code, the machine still kept resetting. Finally, I started single stepping through the MiniportReset() routine in the driver using the kernel debugger, and this ultimately led me to the source of the problem. One of the last things the Atheros MiniportReset() routine does is call NdisReadPciSlotInformation() several times to inspect a portion of the device's PCI config space. It reads the same chunk of config space repeatedly, in rapid succession. Presumeably, it's polling the hardware for some sort of event. The reset occurs partway through this process. I discovered that when I single-stepped through this portion of the routine, the reset didn't occur. So I inserted a 1 microsecond delay into the read loop in NdisReadPciSlotInformation(). Suddenly, the reset was gone!! I'm still very puzzled by the whole thing. What I suspect is happening is that reading the PCI config space so quickly is causing a severe PCI bus error. My test system is a Sun w2100z dual Opteron system, and the NIC is a miniPCI card mounted in a miniPCI-to-PCI carrier card, plugged into a 100Mhz PCI slot. It's possible that this combination of hardware causes a bus protocol violation in this scenario which leads to a fatal machine check. This is pure speculation though. Really all I know for sure is that inserting the delay makes the problem go away. (To quote Homer Simpson: "I don't know how it works, but fire makes it good!") Problem number three: NdisAllocatePacket() needs to make sure to initialize the npp_validcounts field in the 'private' section of the NDIS_PACKET structure. The reason if_ndis was calling the MiniportReset() routine in the first place is that packet transmits were sometimes hanging. When sending a packet, an NDIS driver will call NdisQueryPacket() to learn how many physical buffers the packet resides in. NdisQueryPacket() is actually a macro, which traverses the NDIS_BUFFER list attached to the NDIS_PACKET and stashes some of the results in the 'private' section of the NDIS_PACKET. It also sets the npp_validcounts field to TRUE To indicate that the results are now valid. The problem is, now that if_ndis creates a pool of transmit packets via NdisAllocatePacketPool(), it's important that each time a new packet is allocated via NdisAllocatePacket() that validcounts be initialized to FALSE. If it isn't, and a previously transmitted NDIS_PACKET is pulled out of the pool, it may contain stale data from a previous transmission which won't get updated by NdisQueryPacket(). This would cause the driver to miscompute the number of fragments for a given packet, and botch the transmission. Fixing these three problems seems to make the Atheros driver happy on SMP, which hopefully means other serialized miniports will be happy too. And there was much rejoicing. Other stuff fixed along the way: - Modified ndis_thsuspend() to take a mutex as an argument. This allows KeWaitForSingleObject() and KeWaitForMultipleObjects() to avoid any possible race conditions with other routines that use the dispatcher lock. - Fixed KeCancelTimer() so that it returns the correct value for 'pending' according to the Microsoft documentation - Modfied NdisGetSystemUpTime() to use ticks and hz rather than calling nanouptime(). Also added comment that this routine wraps after 49.7 days. - Added macros for KeAcquireSpinLock()/KeReleaseSpinLock() to hide all the MSCALL() goop. - For x86, KeAcquireSpinLockRaiseToDpc() needs to be a separate function. This is because it's supposed to be _stdcall on the x86 arch, whereas KeAcquireSpinLock() is supposed to be _fastcall. On amd64, all routines use the same calling convention so we can just map KeAcquireSpinLockRaiseToDpc() directly to KfAcquireSpinLock() and it will work. (The _fastcall attribute is a no-op on amd64.) - Implement and use IoInitializeDpcRequest() and IoRequestDpc() (they're just macros) and use them for interrupt handling. This allows us to move the ndis_intrtask() routine from if_ndis.c to kern_ndis.c. - Fix the MmInitializeMdl() macro so that is uses sizeof(vm_offset_t) when computing mdl_size instead of uint32_t, so that it matches the MmSizeOfMdl() routine. - Change a could of M_WAITOKs to M_NOWAITs in the unicode routines in subr_ndis.c. - Use the dispatcher lock a little more consistently in subr_ntoskrnl.c. - Get rid of the "wait for link event" hack in ndis_init(). Now that I fixed NdisReadPciSlotInformation(), it seems I don't need it anymore. This should fix the witness panic a couple of people have reported. - Use MSCALL1() when calling the MiniportHangCheck() function in ndis_ticktask(). I accidentally missed this one when adding the wrapping for amd64.

Commit the first cut of Project Evil, also known as the NDISulator. Yes, it's what you think it is. Yes, you should run away now. This is a special compatibility module for allowing Windows NDIS miniport network drivers to be used with FreeBSD/x86. This provides _binary_ NDIS compatibility (not source): you can run NDIS driver code, but you can't build it. There are three main parts: sys/compat/ndis: the NDIS compat API, which provides binary compatibility functions for many routines in NDIS.SYS, HAL.dll and ntoskrnl.exe in Windows (these are the three modules that most NDIS miniport drivers use). The compat module also contains a small PE relocator/dynalinker which relocates the Windows .SYS image and then patches in our native routines. sys/dev/if_ndis: the if_ndis driver wrapper. This module makes use of the ndis compat API and can be compiled with a specially prepared binary image file (ndis_driver_data.h) containing the Windows .SYS image and registry key information parsed out of the accompanying .INF file. Once if_ndis.ko is built, it can be loaded and unloaded just like a native FreeBSD kenrel module. usr.sbin/ndiscvt: a special utility that converts foo.sys and foo.inf into an ndis_driver_data.h file that can be compiled into if_ndis.o. Contains an .inf file parser graciously provided by Matt Dodd (and mercilessly hacked upon by me) that strips out device ID info and registry key info from a .INF file and packages it up with a binary image array. The ndiscvt(8) utility also does some manipulation of the segments within the .sys file to make life easier for the kernel loader. (Doing the manipulation here saves the kernel code from having to move things around later, which would waste memory.) ndiscvt is only built for the i386 arch. Only files.i386 has been updated, and none of this is turned on in GENERIC. It should probably work on pc98. I have no idea about amd64 or ia64 at this point. This is still a work in progress. I estimate it's about %85 done, but I want it under CVS control so I can track subsequent changes. It has been tested with exactly three drivers: the LinkSys LNE100TX v4 driver (Lne100v4.sys), the sample Intel 82559 driver from the Windows DDK (e100bex.sys) and the Broadcom BCM43xx wireless driver (bcmwl5.sys). It still needs to have a net80211 stuff added to it. To use it, you would do something like this: # cd /sys/modules/ndis # make; make load # cd /sys/modules/if_ndis # ndiscvt -i /path/to/foo.inf -s /path/to/foo.sys -o ndis_driver_data.h # make; make load # sysctl -a | grep ndis All registry keys are mapped to sysctl nodes. Sometimes drivers refer to registry keys that aren't mentioned in foo.inf. If this happens, the NDIS API module creates sysctl nodes for these keys on the fly so you can tweak them. An example usage of the Broadcom wireless driver would be: # sysctl hw.ndis0.EnableAutoConnect=1 # sysctl hw.ndis0.SSID="MY_SSID" # sysctl hw.ndis0.NetworkType=0 (0 for bss, 1 for adhoc) # ifconfig ndis0 <my ipaddr> netmask 0xffffff00 up Things to be done: - get rid of debug messages - add in ndis80211 support - defer transmissions until after a status update with NDIS_STATUS_CONNECTED occurs - Create smarter lookaside list support - Split off if_ndis_pci.c and if_ndis_pccard.c attachments - Make sure PCMCIA support works - Fix ndiscvt to properly parse PCMCIA device IDs from INF files - write ndisapi.9 man page

Create new i386 windows/bsd thunking layer, similar to the amd64 thunking layer, but with a twist. The twist has to do with the fact that Microsoft supports structured exception handling in kernel mode. On the i386 arch, exception handling is implemented by hanging an exception registration list off the Thread Environment Block (TEB), and the TEB is accessed via the %fs register. The problem is, we use %fs as a pointer to the pcpu stucture, which means any driver that tries to write through %fs:0 will overwrite the curthread pointer and make a serious mess of things. To get around this, Project Evil now creates a special entry in the GDT on each processor. When we call into Windows code, a context switch routine will fix up %fs so it points to our new descriptor, which in turn points to a fake TEB. When the Windows code returns, or calls out to an external routine, we swap %fs back again. Currently, Project Evil makes use of GDT slot 7, which is all 0s by default. I fully expect someone to jump up and say I can't do that, but I couldn't find any code that makes use of this entry anywhere. Sadly, this was the only method I could come up with that worked on both UP and SMP. (Modifying the LDT works on UP, but becomes incredibly complicated on SMP.) If necessary, the context switching stuff can be yanked out while preserving the convention calling wrappers. (Fortunately, it looks like Microsoft uses some special epilog/prolog code on amd64 to implement exception handling, so the same nastiness won't be necessary on that arch.) The advantages are: - Any driver that uses %fs as though it were a TEB pointer won't clobber pcpu. - All the __stdcall/__fastcall/__regparm stuff that's specific to gcc goes away. Also, while I'm here, switch NdisGetSystemUpTime() back to using nanouptime() again. It turns out nanouptime() is way more accurate than just using ticks(). On slower machines, the Atheros drivers I tested seem to take a long time to associate due to the loss in accuracy.

Continue my efforts to imitate Windows as closely as possible by attempting to duplicate Windows spinlocks. Windows spinlocks differ from FreeBSD spinlocks in the way they block preemption. FreeBSD spinlocks use critical_enter(), which masks off _all_ interrupts. This prevents any other threads from being scheduled, but it also prevents ISRs from running. In Windows, preemption is achieved by raising the processor IRQL to DISPATCH_LEVEL, which prevents other threads from preempting you, but does _not_ prevent device ISRs from running. (This is essentially what Solaris calls dispatcher locks.) The Windows spinlock itself (kspin_lock) is just an integer value which is atomically set when you acquire the lock and atomically cleared when you release it. FreeBSD doesn't have IRQ levels, so we have to cheat a little by using thread priorities: normal thread priority is PASSIVE_LEVEL, lowest interrupt thread priority is DISPATCH_LEVEL, highest thread priority is DEVICE_LEVEL (PI_REALTIME) and critical_enter() is HIGH_LEVEL. In practice, only PASSIVE_LEVEL and DISPATCH_LEVEL matter to us. The immediate benefit of all this is that I no longer have to rely on a mutex pool. Now, I'm sure many people will be seized by the urge to criticize me for doing an end run around our own spinlock implementation, but it makes more sense to do it this way. Well, it does to me anyway. Overview of the changes: - Properly implement hal_lock(), hal_unlock(), hal_irql(), hal_raise_irql() and hal_lower_irql() so that they more closely resemble their Windows counterparts. The IRQL is determined by thread priority. - Make ntoskrnl_lock_dpc() and ntoskrnl_unlock_dpc() do what they do in Windows, which is to atomically set/clear the lock value. These routines are designed to be called from DISPATCH_LEVEL, and are actually half of the work involved in acquiring/releasing spinlocks. - Add FASTCALL1(), FASTCALL2() and FASTCALL3() macros/wrappers that allow us to call a _fastcall function in spite of the fact that our version of gcc doesn't support __attribute__((__fastcall__)) yet. The macros take 1, 2 or 3 arguments, respectively. We need to call hal_lock(), hal_unlock() etc... ourselves, but can't really invoke the function directly. I could have just made the underlying functions native routines and put _fastcall wrappers around them for the benefit of Windows binaries, but that would create needless bloat. - Remove ndis_mtxpool and all references to it. We don't need it anymore. - Re-implement the NdisSpinLock routines so that they use hal_lock() and friends like they do in Windows. - Use the new spinlock methods for handling lookaside lists and linked list updates in place of the mutex locks that were there before. - Remove mutex locking from ndis_isr() and ndis_intrhand() since they're already called with ndis_intrmtx held in if_ndis.c. - Put ndis_destroy_lock() code under explicit #ifdef notdef/#endif. It turns out there are some drivers which stupidly free the memory in which their spinlocks reside before calling ndis_destroy_lock() on them (touch-after-free bug). The ADMtek wireless driver is guilty of this faux pas. (Why this doesn't clobber Windows I have no idea.) - Make NdisDprAcquireSpinLock() and NdisDprReleaseSpinLock() into real functions instead of aliasing them to NdisAcaquireSpinLock() and NdisReleaseSpinLock(). The Dpr routines use KeAcquireSpinLockAtDpcLevel() level and KeReleaseSpinLockFromDpcLevel(), which acquires the lock without twiddling the IRQL. - In ndis_linksts_done(), do _not_ call ndis_80211_getstate(). Some drivers may call the status/status done callbacks as the result of setting an OID: ndis_80211_getstate() gets OIDs, which means we might cause the driver to recursively access some of its internal structures unexpectedly. The ndis_ticktask() routine will call ndis_80211_getstate() for us eventually anyway. - Fix the channel setting code a little in ndis_80211_setstate(), and initialize the channel to IEEE80211_CHAN_ANYC. (The Microsoft spec says you're not supposed to twiddle the channel in BSS mode; I may need to enforce this later.) This fixes the problems I was having with the ADMtek adm8211 driver: we were setting the channel to a non-standard default, which would cause it to fail to associate in BSS mode. - Use hal_raise_irql() to raise our IRQL to DISPATCH_LEVEL when calling certain miniport routines, per the Microsoft documentation. I think that's everything. Hopefully, other than fixing the ADMtek driver, there should be no apparent change in behavior.

This commit makes a bunch of changes, some big, some not so big. - Remove the old task threads from kern_ndis.c and reimplement them in subr_ntoskrnl.c, in order to more properly emulate the Windows DPC API. Each CPU gets its own DPC queue/thread, and each queue can have low, medium and high importance DPCs. New APIs implemented: KeSetTargetProcessorDpc(), KeSetImportanceDpc() and KeFlushQueuedDpcs(). (This is the biggest change.) - Fix a bug in NdisMInitializeTimer(): the k_dpc pointer in the nmt_timer embedded in the ndis_miniport_timer struct must be set to point to the DPC, also embedded in the struct. Failing to do this breaks dequeueing of DPCs submitted via timers, and in turn breaks cancelling timers. - Fix a bug in KeCancelTimer(): if the timer is interted in the timer queue (i.e. the timeout callback is still pending), we have to both untimeout() the timer _and_ call KeRemoveQueueDpc() to nuke the DPC that might be pending. Failing to do this breaks cancellation of periodic timers, which always appear to be inserted in the timer queue. - Make use of the nmt_nexttimer field in ndis_miniport_timer: keep a queue of pending timers and cancel them all in ndis_halt_nic(), prior to calling MiniportHalt(). Also call KeFlushQueuedDpcs() to make sure any DPCs queued by the timers have expired. - Modify NdisMAllocateSharedMemory() and NdisMFreeSharedMemory() to keep track of both the virtual and physical addresses of the shared memory buffers that get handed out. The AirGo MIMO driver appears to have a bug in it: for one of the segments is allocates, it returns the wrong virtual address. This would confuse NdisMFreeSharedMemory() and cause a crash. Why it doesn't crash Windows too I have no idea (from reading the documentation for NdisMFreeSharedMemory(), it appears to be a violation of the API). - Implement strstr(), strchr() and MmIsAddressValid(). - Implement IoAllocateWorkItem(), IoFreeWorkItem(), IoQueueWorkItem() and ExQueueWorkItem(). (This is the second biggest change.) - Make NdisScheduleWorkItem() call ExQueueWorkItem(). (Note that the ExQueueWorkItem() API is deprecated by Microsoft, but NDIS still uses it, since NdisScheduleWorkItem() is incompatible with the IoXXXWorkItem() API.) - Change if_ndis.c to use the NdisScheduleWorkItem() interface for scheduling tasks. With all these changes and fixes, the AirGo MIMO driver for the Belkin F5D8010 Pre-N card now works. Special thanks to Paul Robinson (paul dawt robinson at pwermedia dawt net) for the loan of a card for testing.

KeResetEvent(&sc->ndis_block->nmb_getevent);
Finally bring an end to the great "make the Atheros NDIS driver work on SMP" saga. After several weeks and much gnashing of teeth, I have finally tracked down all the problems, despite their best efforts to confound and annoy me. Problem nunmber one: the Atheros windows driver is _NOT_ a de-serialized miniport! It used to be that NDIS drivers relied on the NDIS library itself for all their locking and serialization needs. Transmit packet queues were all handled internally by NDIS, and all calls to MiniportXXX() routines were guaranteed to be appropriately serialized. This proved to be a performance problem however, and Microsoft introduced de-serialized miniports with the NDIS 5.x spec. Microsoft still supports serialized miniports, but recommends that all new drivers written for Windows XP and later be deserialized. Apparently Atheros wasn't listening when they said this. This means (among other things) that we have to serialize calls to MiniportSendPackets(). We also have to serialize calls to MiniportTimer() that are triggered via the NdisMInitializeTimer() routine. It finally dawned on me why NdisMInitializeTimer() takes a special NDIS_MINIPORT_TIMER structure and a pointer to the miniport block: the timer callback must be serialized, and it's only by saving the miniport block handle that we can get access to the serialization lock during the timer callback. Problem number two: haunted hardware. The thing that was _really_ driving me absolutely bonkers for the longest time is that, for some reason I couldn't understand, my test machine would occasionally freeze or more frustratingly, reset completely. That's reset and in *pow!* back to the BIOS startup. No panic, no crashdump, just a reset. This appeared to happen most often when MiniportReset() was called. (As to why MiniportReset() was being called, see problem three below.) I thought maybe I had created some sort of horrible deadlock condition in the process of adding the serialization, but after three weeks, at least 6 different locking implementations and heroic efforts to debug the spinlock code, the machine still kept resetting. Finally, I started single stepping through the MiniportReset() routine in the driver using the kernel debugger, and this ultimately led me to the source of the problem. One of the last things the Atheros MiniportReset() routine does is call NdisReadPciSlotInformation() several times to inspect a portion of the device's PCI config space. It reads the same chunk of config space repeatedly, in rapid succession. Presumeably, it's polling the hardware for some sort of event. The reset occurs partway through this process. I discovered that when I single-stepped through this portion of the routine, the reset didn't occur. So I inserted a 1 microsecond delay into the read loop in NdisReadPciSlotInformation(). Suddenly, the reset was gone!! I'm still very puzzled by the whole thing. What I suspect is happening is that reading the PCI config space so quickly is causing a severe PCI bus error. My test system is a Sun w2100z dual Opteron system, and the NIC is a miniPCI card mounted in a miniPCI-to-PCI carrier card, plugged into a 100Mhz PCI slot. It's possible that this combination of hardware causes a bus protocol violation in this scenario which leads to a fatal machine check. This is pure speculation though. Really all I know for sure is that inserting the delay makes the problem go away. (To quote Homer Simpson: "I don't know how it works, but fire makes it good!") Problem number three: NdisAllocatePacket() needs to make sure to initialize the npp_validcounts field in the 'private' section of the NDIS_PACKET structure. The reason if_ndis was calling the MiniportReset() routine in the first place is that packet transmits were sometimes hanging. When sending a packet, an NDIS driver will call NdisQueryPacket() to learn how many physical buffers the packet resides in. NdisQueryPacket() is actually a macro, which traverses the NDIS_BUFFER list attached to the NDIS_PACKET and stashes some of the results in the 'private' section of the NDIS_PACKET. It also sets the npp_validcounts field to TRUE To indicate that the results are now valid. The problem is, now that if_ndis creates a pool of transmit packets via NdisAllocatePacketPool(), it's important that each time a new packet is allocated via NdisAllocatePacket() that validcounts be initialized to FALSE. If it isn't, and a previously transmitted NDIS_PACKET is pulled out of the pool, it may contain stale data from a previous transmission which won't get updated by NdisQueryPacket(). This would cause the driver to miscompute the number of fragments for a given packet, and botch the transmission. Fixing these three problems seems to make the Atheros driver happy on SMP, which hopefully means other serialized miniports will be happy too. And there was much rejoicing. Other stuff fixed along the way: - Modified ndis_thsuspend() to take a mutex as an argument. This allows KeWaitForSingleObject() and KeWaitForMultipleObjects() to avoid any possible race conditions with other routines that use the dispatcher lock. - Fixed KeCancelTimer() so that it returns the correct value for 'pending' according to the Microsoft documentation - Modfied NdisGetSystemUpTime() to use ticks and hz rather than calling nanouptime(). Also added comment that this routine wraps after 49.7 days. - Added macros for KeAcquireSpinLock()/KeReleaseSpinLock() to hide all the MSCALL() goop. - For x86, KeAcquireSpinLockRaiseToDpc() needs to be a separate function. This is because it's supposed to be _stdcall on the x86 arch, whereas KeAcquireSpinLock() is supposed to be _fastcall. On amd64, all routines use the same calling convention so we can just map KeAcquireSpinLockRaiseToDpc() directly to KfAcquireSpinLock() and it will work. (The _fastcall attribute is a no-op on amd64.) - Implement and use IoInitializeDpcRequest() and IoRequestDpc() (they're just macros) and use them for interrupt handling. This allows us to move the ndis_intrtask() routine from if_ndis.c to kern_ndis.c. - Fix the MmInitializeMdl() macro so that is uses sizeof(vm_offset_t) when computing mdl_size instead of uint32_t, so that it matches the MmSizeOfMdl() routine. - Change a could of M_WAITOKs to M_NOWAITs in the unicode routines in subr_ndis.c. - Use the dispatcher lock a little more consistently in subr_ntoskrnl.c. - Get rid of the "wait for link event" hack in ndis_init(). Now that I fixed NdisReadPciSlotInformation(), it seems I don't need it anymore. This should fix the witness panic a couple of people have reported. - Use MSCALL1() when calling the MiniportHangCheck() function in ndis_ticktask(). I accidentally missed this one when adding the wrapping for amd64.

When you call MiniportInitialize() for an 802.11 driver, it will at some point result in a status event being triggered (it should be a link down event: the Microsoft driver design guide says you should generate one when the NIC is initialized). Some drivers generate the event during MiniportInitialize(), such that by the time MiniportInitialize() completes, the NIC is ready to go. But some drivers, in particular the ones for Atheros wireless NICs, don't generate the event until after a device interrupt occurs at some point after MiniportInitialize() has completed. The gotcha is that you have to wait until the link status event occurs one way or the other before you try to fiddle with any settings (ssid, channel, etc...). For the drivers that set the event sycnhronously this isn't a problem, but for the others we have to pause after calling ndis_init_nic() and wait for the event to arrive before continuing. Failing to wait can cause big trouble: on my SMP system, calling ndis_setstate_80211() after ndis_init_nic() completes, but _before_ the link event arrives, will lock up or reset the system. What we do now is check to see if a link event arrived while ndis_init_nic() was running, and if it didn't we msleep() until it does. Along the way, I discovered a few other problems: - Defered procedure calls run at PASSIVE_LEVEL, not DISPATCH_LEVEL. ntoskrnl_run_dpc() has been fixed accordingly. (I read the documentation wrong.) - Similarly, the NDIS interrupt handler, which is essentially a DPC, also doesn't need to run at DISPATCH_LEVEL. ndis_intrtask() has been fixed accordingly. - MiniportQueryInformation() and MiniportSetInformation() run at DISPATCH_LEVEL, and each request must complete before another can be submitted. ndis_get_info() and ndis_set_info() have been fixed accordingly. - Turned the sleep lock that guards the NDIS thread job list into a spin lock. We never do anything with this lock held except manage the job list (no other locks are held), so it's safe to do this, and it's possible that ndis_sched() and ndis_unsched() can be called from DISPATCH_LEVEL, so using a sleep lock here is semantically incorrect. Also updated subr_witness.c to add the lock to the order list.

Next step on the road to IRPs: create and use an imitation of the Windows DRIVER_OBJECT and DEVICE_OBJECT mechanism so that we can simulate driver stacking. In Windows, each loaded driver image is attached to a DRIVER_OBJECT structure. Windows uses the registry to match up a given vendor/device ID combination with a corresponding DRIVER_OBJECT. When a driver image is first loaded, its DriverEntry() routine is invoked, which sets up the AddDevice() function pointer in the DRIVER_OBJECT and creates a dispatch table (based on IRP major codes). When a Windows bus driver detects a new device, it creates a Physical Device Object (PDO) for it. This is a DEVICE_OBJECT structure, with semantics analagous to that of a device_t in FreeBSD. The Windows PNP manager will invoke the driver's AddDevice() function and pass it pointers to the DRIVER_OBJECT and the PDO. The AddDevice() function then creates a new DRIVER_OBJECT structure of its own. This is known as the Functional Device Object (FDO) and corresponds roughly to a private softc instance. The driver uses IoAttachDeviceToDeviceStack() to add this device object to the driver stack for this PDO. Subsequent drivers (called filter drivers in Windows-speak) can be loaded which add themselves to the stack. When someone issues an IRP to a device, it travel along the stack passing through several possible filter drivers until it reaches the functional driver (which actually knows how to talk to the hardware) at which point it will be completed. This is how Windows achieves driver layering. Project Evil now simulates most of this. if_ndis now has a modevent handler which will use MOD_LOAD and MOD_UNLOAD events to drive the creation and destruction of DRIVER_OBJECTs. (The load event also does the relocation/dynalinking of the image.) We don't have a registry, so the DRIVER_OBJECTS are stored in a linked list for now. Eventually, the list entry will contain the vendor/device ID list extracted from the .INF file. When ndis_probe() is called and detectes a supported device, it will create a PDO for the device instance and attach it to the DRIVER_OBJECT just as in Windows. ndis_attach() will then call our NdisAddDevice() handler to create the FDO. The NDIS miniport block is now a device extension hung off the FDO, just as it is in Windows. The miniport characteristics table is now an extension hung off the DRIVER_OBJECT as well (the characteristics are the same for all devices handled by a given driver, so they don't need to be per-instance.) We also do an IoAttachDeviceToDeviceStack() to put the FDO on the stack for the PDO. There are a couple of fake bus drivers created for the PCI and pccard buses. Eventually, there will be one for USB, which will actually accept USB IRP.s Things should still work just as before, only now we do things in the proper order and maintain the correct framework to support passing IRPs between drivers. Various changes: - corrected the comments about IRQL handling in subr_hal.c to more accurately reflect reality - update ndiscvt to make the drv_data symbol in ndis_driver_data.h a global so that if_ndis_pci.o and/or if_ndis_pccard.o can see it. - Obtain the softc pointer from the miniport block by referencing the PDO rather than a private pointer of our own (nmb_ifp is no longer used) - implement IoAttachDeviceToDeviceStack(), IoDetachDevice(), IoGetAttachedDevice(), IoAllocateDriverObjectExtension(), IoGetDriverObjectExtension(), IoCreateDevice(), IoDeleteDevice(), IoAllocateIrp(), IoReuseIrp(), IoMakeAssociatedIrp(), IoFreeIrp(), IoInitializeIrp() - fix a few mistakes in the driver_object and device_object definitions - add a new module, kern_windrv.c, to handle the driver registration and relocation/dynalinkign duties (which don't really belong in kern_ndis.c). - made ndis_block and ndis_chars in the ndis_softc stucture pointers and modified all references to it - fixed NdisMRegisterMiniport() and NdisInitializeWrapper() so they work correctly with the new driver_object mechanism - changed ndis_attach() to call NdisAddDevice() instead of ndis_load_driver() (which is now deprecated) - used ExAllocatePoolWithTag()/ExFreePool() in lookaside list routines instead of kludged up alloc/free routines - added kern_windrv.c to sys/modules/ndis/Makefile and files.i386.

Commit the first cut of Project Evil, also known as the NDISulator. Yes, it's what you think it is. Yes, you should run away now. This is a special compatibility module for allowing Windows NDIS miniport network drivers to be used with FreeBSD/x86. This provides _binary_ NDIS compatibility (not source): you can run NDIS driver code, but you can't build it. There are three main parts: sys/compat/ndis: the NDIS compat API, which provides binary compatibility functions for many routines in NDIS.SYS, HAL.dll and ntoskrnl.exe in Windows (these are the three modules that most NDIS miniport drivers use). The compat module also contains a small PE relocator/dynalinker which relocates the Windows .SYS image and then patches in our native routines. sys/dev/if_ndis: the if_ndis driver wrapper. This module makes use of the ndis compat API and can be compiled with a specially prepared binary image file (ndis_driver_data.h) containing the Windows .SYS image and registry key information parsed out of the accompanying .INF file. Once if_ndis.ko is built, it can be loaded and unloaded just like a native FreeBSD kenrel module. usr.sbin/ndiscvt: a special utility that converts foo.sys and foo.inf into an ndis_driver_data.h file that can be compiled into if_ndis.o. Contains an .inf file parser graciously provided by Matt Dodd (and mercilessly hacked upon by me) that strips out device ID info and registry key info from a .INF file and packages it up with a binary image array. The ndiscvt(8) utility also does some manipulation of the segments within the .sys file to make life easier for the kernel loader. (Doing the manipulation here saves the kernel code from having to move things around later, which would waste memory.) ndiscvt is only built for the i386 arch. Only files.i386 has been updated, and none of this is turned on in GENERIC. It should probably work on pc98. I have no idea about amd64 or ia64 at this point. This is still a work in progress. I estimate it's about %85 done, but I want it under CVS control so I can track subsequent changes. It has been tested with exactly three drivers: the LinkSys LNE100TX v4 driver (Lne100v4.sys), the sample Intel 82559 driver from the Windows DDK (e100bex.sys) and the Broadcom BCM43xx wireless driver (bcmwl5.sys). It still needs to have a net80211 stuff added to it. To use it, you would do something like this: # cd /sys/modules/ndis # make; make load # cd /sys/modules/if_ndis # ndiscvt -i /path/to/foo.inf -s /path/to/foo.sys -o ndis_driver_data.h # make; make load # sysctl -a | grep ndis All registry keys are mapped to sysctl nodes. Sometimes drivers refer to registry keys that aren't mentioned in foo.inf. If this happens, the NDIS API module creates sysctl nodes for these keys on the fly so you can tweak them. An example usage of the Broadcom wireless driver would be: # sysctl hw.ndis0.EnableAutoConnect=1 # sysctl hw.ndis0.SSID="MY_SSID" # sysctl hw.ndis0.NetworkType=0 (0 for bss, 1 for adhoc) # ifconfig ndis0 <my ipaddr> netmask 0xffffff00 up Things to be done: - get rid of debug messages - add in ndis80211 support - defer transmissions until after a status update with NDIS_STATUS_CONNECTED occurs - Create smarter lookaside list support - Split off if_ndis_pci.c and if_ndis_pccard.c attachments - Make sure PCMCIA support works - Fix ndiscvt to properly parse PCMCIA device IDs from INF files - write ndisapi.9 man page

Finally bring an end to the great "make the Atheros NDIS driver work on SMP" saga. After several weeks and much gnashing of teeth, I have finally tracked down all the problems, despite their best efforts to confound and annoy me. Problem nunmber one: the Atheros windows driver is _NOT_ a de-serialized miniport! It used to be that NDIS drivers relied on the NDIS library itself for all their locking and serialization needs. Transmit packet queues were all handled internally by NDIS, and all calls to MiniportXXX() routines were guaranteed to be appropriately serialized. This proved to be a performance problem however, and Microsoft introduced de-serialized miniports with the NDIS 5.x spec. Microsoft still supports serialized miniports, but recommends that all new drivers written for Windows XP and later be deserialized. Apparently Atheros wasn't listening when they said this. This means (among other things) that we have to serialize calls to MiniportSendPackets(). We also have to serialize calls to MiniportTimer() that are triggered via the NdisMInitializeTimer() routine. It finally dawned on me why NdisMInitializeTimer() takes a special NDIS_MINIPORT_TIMER structure and a pointer to the miniport block: the timer callback must be serialized, and it's only by saving the miniport block handle that we can get access to the serialization lock during the timer callback. Problem number two: haunted hardware. The thing that was _really_ driving me absolutely bonkers for the longest time is that, for some reason I couldn't understand, my test machine would occasionally freeze or more frustratingly, reset completely. That's reset and in *pow!* back to the BIOS startup. No panic, no crashdump, just a reset. This appeared to happen most often when MiniportReset() was called. (As to why MiniportReset() was being called, see problem three below.) I thought maybe I had created some sort of horrible deadlock condition in the process of adding the serialization, but after three weeks, at least 6 different locking implementations and heroic efforts to debug the spinlock code, the machine still kept resetting. Finally, I started single stepping through the MiniportReset() routine in the driver using the kernel debugger, and this ultimately led me to the source of the problem. One of the last things the Atheros MiniportReset() routine does is call NdisReadPciSlotInformation() several times to inspect a portion of the device's PCI config space. It reads the same chunk of config space repeatedly, in rapid succession. Presumeably, it's polling the hardware for some sort of event. The reset occurs partway through this process. I discovered that when I single-stepped through this portion of the routine, the reset didn't occur. So I inserted a 1 microsecond delay into the read loop in NdisReadPciSlotInformation(). Suddenly, the reset was gone!! I'm still very puzzled by the whole thing. What I suspect is happening is that reading the PCI config space so quickly is causing a severe PCI bus error. My test system is a Sun w2100z dual Opteron system, and the NIC is a miniPCI card mounted in a miniPCI-to-PCI carrier card, plugged into a 100Mhz PCI slot. It's possible that this combination of hardware causes a bus protocol violation in this scenario which leads to a fatal machine check. This is pure speculation though. Really all I know for sure is that inserting the delay makes the problem go away. (To quote Homer Simpson: "I don't know how it works, but fire makes it good!") Problem number three: NdisAllocatePacket() needs to make sure to initialize the npp_validcounts field in the 'private' section of the NDIS_PACKET structure. The reason if_ndis was calling the MiniportReset() routine in the first place is that packet transmits were sometimes hanging. When sending a packet, an NDIS driver will call NdisQueryPacket() to learn how many physical buffers the packet resides in. NdisQueryPacket() is actually a macro, which traverses the NDIS_BUFFER list attached to the NDIS_PACKET and stashes some of the results in the 'private' section of the NDIS_PACKET. It also sets the npp_validcounts field to TRUE To indicate that the results are now valid. The problem is, now that if_ndis creates a pool of transmit packets via NdisAllocatePacketPool(), it's important that each time a new packet is allocated via NdisAllocatePacket() that validcounts be initialized to FALSE. If it isn't, and a previously transmitted NDIS_PACKET is pulled out of the pool, it may contain stale data from a previous transmission which won't get updated by NdisQueryPacket(). This would cause the driver to miscompute the number of fragments for a given packet, and botch the transmission. Fixing these three problems seems to make the Atheros driver happy on SMP, which hopefully means other serialized miniports will be happy too. And there was much rejoicing. Other stuff fixed along the way: - Modified ndis_thsuspend() to take a mutex as an argument. This allows KeWaitForSingleObject() and KeWaitForMultipleObjects() to avoid any possible race conditions with other routines that use the dispatcher lock. - Fixed KeCancelTimer() so that it returns the correct value for 'pending' according to the Microsoft documentation - Modfied NdisGetSystemUpTime() to use ticks and hz rather than calling nanouptime(). Also added comment that this routine wraps after 49.7 days. - Added macros for KeAcquireSpinLock()/KeReleaseSpinLock() to hide all the MSCALL() goop. - For x86, KeAcquireSpinLockRaiseToDpc() needs to be a separate function. This is because it's supposed to be _stdcall on the x86 arch, whereas KeAcquireSpinLock() is supposed to be _fastcall. On amd64, all routines use the same calling convention so we can just map KeAcquireSpinLockRaiseToDpc() directly to KfAcquireSpinLock() and it will work. (The _fastcall attribute is a no-op on amd64.) - Implement and use IoInitializeDpcRequest() and IoRequestDpc() (they're just macros) and use them for interrupt handling. This allows us to move the ndis_intrtask() routine from if_ndis.c to kern_ndis.c. - Fix the MmInitializeMdl() macro so that is uses sizeof(vm_offset_t) when computing mdl_size instead of uint32_t, so that it matches the MmSizeOfMdl() routine. - Change a could of M_WAITOKs to M_NOWAITs in the unicode routines in subr_ndis.c. - Use the dispatcher lock a little more consistently in subr_ntoskrnl.c. - Get rid of the "wait for link event" hack in ndis_init(). Now that I fixed NdisReadPciSlotInformation(), it seems I don't need it anymore. This should fix the witness panic a couple of people have reported. - Use MSCALL1() when calling the MiniportHangCheck() function in ndis_ticktask(). I accidentally missed this one when adding the wrapping for amd64.

For the drivers that set the event sycnhronously this isn't a problem, but for the others we have to pause after calling ndis_init_nic() and wait for the event to arrive before continuing. Failing to wait can cause big trouble: on my SMP system, calling ndis_setstate_80211() after ndis_init_nic() completes, but _before_ the link event arrives, will lock up or reset the system. What we do now is check to see if a link event arrived while ndis_init_nic() was running, and if it didn't we msleep() until it does. Along the way, I discovered a few other problems: - Defered procedure calls run at PASSIVE_LEVEL, not DISPATCH_LEVEL. ntoskrnl_run_dpc() has been fixed accordingly. (I read the documentation wrong.) - Similarly, the NDIS interrupt handler, which is essentially a DPC, also doesn't need to run at DISPATCH_LEVEL. ndis_intrtask() has been fixed accordingly. - MiniportQueryInformation() and MiniportSetInformation() run at DISPATCH_LEVEL, and each request must complete before another can be submitted. ndis_get_info() and ndis_set_info() have been fixed accordingly. - Turned the sleep lock that guards the NDIS thread job list into a spin lock. We never do anything with this lock held except manage the job list (no other locks are held), so it's safe to do this, and it's possible that ndis_sched() and ndis_unsched() can be called from DISPATCH_LEVEL, so using a sleep lock here is semantically incorrect. Also updated subr_witness.c to add the lock to the order list.

Add support for Windows/x86-64 binaries to Project Evil. Ville-Pertti Keinonen (will at exomi dot comohmygodnospampleasekthx) deserves a big thanks for submitting initial patches to make it work. I have mangled his contributions appropriately. The main gotcha with Windows/x86-64 is that Microsoft uses a different calling convention than everyone else. The standard ABI requires using 6 registers for argument passing, with other arguments on the stack. Microsoft uses only 4 registers, and requires the caller to leave room on the stack for the register arguments incase the callee needs to spill them. Unlike x86, where Microsoft uses a mix of _cdecl, _stdcall and _fastcall, all routines on Windows/x86-64 uses the same convention. This unfortunately means that all the functions we export to the driver require an intermediate translation wrapper. Similarly, we have to wrap all calls back into the driver binary itself. The original patches provided macros to wrap every single routine at compile time, providing a secondary jump table with a customized wrapper for each exported routine. I decided to use a different approach: the call wrapper for each function is created from a template at runtime, and the routine to jump to is patched into the wrapper as it is created. The subr_pe module has been modified to patch in the wrapped function instead of the original. (On x86, the wrapping routine is a no-op.) There are some minor API differences that had to be accounted for: - KeAcquireSpinLock() is a real function on amd64, not a macro wrapper around KfAcquireSpinLock() - NdisFreeBuffer() is actually IoFreeMdl(). I had to change the whole NDIS_BUFFER API a bit to accomodate this. Bugs fixed along the way: - IoAllocateMdl() always returned NULL - kern_windrv.c:windrv_unload() wasn't releasing private driver object extensions correctly (found thanks to memguard) This has only been tested with the driver for the Broadcom 802.11g chipset, which was the only Windows/x86-64 driver I could find.

I discovered that when I single-stepped through this portion of the routine, the reset didn't occur. So I inserted a 1 microsecond delay into the read loop in NdisReadPciSlotInformation(). Suddenly, the reset was gone!! I'm still very puzzled by the whole thing. What I suspect is happening is that reading the PCI config space so quickly is causing a severe PCI bus error. My test system is a Sun w2100z dual Opteron system, and the NIC is a miniPCI card mounted in a miniPCI-to-PCI carrier card, plugged into a 100Mhz PCI slot. It's possible that this combination of hardware causes a bus protocol violation in this scenario which leads to a fatal machine check. This is pure speculation though. Really all I know for sure is that inserting the delay makes the problem go away. (To quote Homer Simpson: "I don't know how it works, but fire makes it good!") Problem number three: NdisAllocatePacket() needs to make sure to initialize the npp_validcounts field in the 'private' section of the NDIS_PACKET structure. The reason if_ndis was calling the MiniportReset() routine in the first place is that packet transmits were sometimes hanging. When sending a packet, an NDIS driver will call NdisQueryPacket() to learn how many physical buffers the packet resides in. NdisQueryPacket() is actually a macro, which traverses the NDIS_BUFFER list attached to the NDIS_PACKET and stashes some of the results in the 'private' section of the NDIS_PACKET. It also sets the npp_validcounts field to TRUE To indicate that the results are now valid. The problem is, now that if_ndis creates a pool of transmit packets via NdisAllocatePacketPool(), it's important that each time a new packet is allocated via NdisAllocatePacket() that validcounts be initialized to FALSE. If it isn't, and a previously transmitted NDIS_PACKET is pulled out of the pool, it may contain stale data from a previous transmission which won't get updated by NdisQueryPacket(). This would cause the driver to miscompute the number of fragments for a given packet, and botch the transmission. Fixing these three problems seems to make the Atheros driver happy on SMP, which hopefully means other serialized miniports will be happy too. And there was much rejoicing. Other stuff fixed along the way: - Modified ndis_thsuspend() to take a mutex as an argument. This allows KeWaitForSingleObject() and KeWaitForMultipleObjects() to avoid any possible race conditions with other routines that use the dispatcher lock. - Fixed KeCancelTimer() so that it returns the correct value for 'pending' according to the Microsoft documentation - Modfied NdisGetSystemUpTime() to use ticks and hz rather than calling nanouptime(). Also added comment that this routine wraps after 49.7 days. - Added macros for KeAcquireSpinLock()/KeReleaseSpinLock() to hide all the MSCALL() goop. - For x86, KeAcquireSpinLockRaiseToDpc() needs to be a separate function. This is because it's supposed to be _stdcall on the x86 arch, whereas KeAcquireSpinLock() is supposed to be _fastcall. On amd64, all routines use the same calling convention so we can just map KeAcquireSpinLockRaiseToDpc() directly to KfAcquireSpinLock() and it will work. (The _fastcall attribute is a no-op on amd64.) - Implement and use IoInitializeDpcRequest() and IoRequestDpc() (they're just macros) and use them for interrupt handling. This allows us to move the ndis_intrtask() routine from if_ndis.c to kern_ndis.c. - Fix the MmInitializeMdl() macro so that is uses sizeof(vm_offset_t) when computing mdl_size instead of uint32_t, so that it matches the MmSizeOfMdl() routine. - Change a could of M_WAITOKs to M_NOWAITs in the unicode routines in subr_ndis.c. - Use the dispatcher lock a little more consistently in subr_ntoskrnl.c. - Get rid of the "wait for link event" hack in ndis_init(). Now that I fixed NdisReadPciSlotInformation(), it seems I don't need it anymore. This should fix the witness panic a couple of people have reported. - Use MSCALL1() when calling the MiniportHangCheck() function in ndis_ticktask(). I accidentally missed this one when adding the wrapping for amd64.

Commit the first cut of Project Evil, also known as the NDISulator. Yes, it's what you think it is. Yes, you should run away now. This is a special compatibility module for allowing Windows NDIS miniport network drivers to be used with FreeBSD/x86. This provides _binary_ NDIS compatibility (not source): you can run NDIS driver code, but you can't build it. There are three main parts: sys/compat/ndis: the NDIS compat API, which provides binary compatibility functions for many routines in NDIS.SYS, HAL.dll and ntoskrnl.exe in Windows (these are the three modules that most NDIS miniport drivers use). The compat module also contains a small PE relocator/dynalinker which relocates the Windows .SYS image and then patches in our native routines. sys/dev/if_ndis: the if_ndis driver wrapper. This module makes use of the ndis compat API and can be compiled with a specially prepared binary image file (ndis_driver_data.h) containing the Windows .SYS image and registry key information parsed out of the accompanying .INF file. Once if_ndis.ko is built, it can be loaded and unloaded just like a native FreeBSD kenrel module. usr.sbin/ndiscvt: a special utility that converts foo.sys and foo.inf into an ndis_driver_data.h file that can be compiled into if_ndis.o. Contains an .inf file parser graciously provided by Matt Dodd (and mercilessly hacked upon by me) that strips out device ID info and registry key info from a .INF file and packages it up with a binary image array. The ndiscvt(8) utility also does some manipulation of the segments within the .sys file to make life easier for the kernel loader. (Doing the manipulation here saves the kernel code from having to move things around later, which would waste memory.) ndiscvt is only built for the i386 arch. Only files.i386 has been updated, and none of this is turned on in GENERIC. It should probably work on pc98. I have no idea about amd64 or ia64 at this point. This is still a work in progress. I estimate it's about %85 done, but I want it under CVS control so I can track subsequent changes. It has been tested with exactly three drivers: the LinkSys LNE100TX v4 driver (Lne100v4.sys), the sample Intel 82559 driver from the Windows DDK (e100bex.sys) and the Broadcom BCM43xx wireless driver (bcmwl5.sys). It still needs to have a net80211 stuff added to it. To use it, you would do something like this: # cd /sys/modules/ndis # make; make load # cd /sys/modules/if_ndis # ndiscvt -i /path/to/foo.inf -s /path/to/foo.sys -o ndis_driver_data.h # make; make load # sysctl -a | grep ndis All registry keys are mapped to sysctl nodes. Sometimes drivers refer to registry keys that aren't mentioned in foo.inf. If this happens, the NDIS API module creates sysctl nodes for these keys on the fly so you can tweak them. An example usage of the Broadcom wireless driver would be: # sysctl hw.ndis0.EnableAutoConnect=1 # sysctl hw.ndis0.SSID="MY_SSID" # sysctl hw.ndis0.NetworkType=0 (0 for bss, 1 for adhoc) # ifconfig ndis0 <my ipaddr> netmask 0xffffff00 up Things to be done: - get rid of debug messages - add in ndis80211 support - defer transmissions until after a status update with NDIS_STATUS_CONNECTED occurs - Create smarter lookaside list support - Split off if_ndis_pci.c and if_ndis_pccard.c attachments - Make sure PCMCIA support works - Fix ndiscvt to properly parse PCMCIA device IDs from INF files - write ndisapi.9 man page

Next step on the road to IRPs: create and use an imitation of the Windows DRIVER_OBJECT and DEVICE_OBJECT mechanism so that we can simulate driver stacking. In Windows, each loaded driver image is attached to a DRIVER_OBJECT structure. Windows uses the registry to match up a given vendor/device ID combination with a corresponding DRIVER_OBJECT. When a driver image is first loaded, its DriverEntry() routine is invoked, which sets up the AddDevice() function pointer in the DRIVER_OBJECT and creates a dispatch table (based on IRP major codes). When a Windows bus driver detects a new device, it creates a Physical Device Object (PDO) for it. This is a DEVICE_OBJECT structure, with semantics analagous to that of a device_t in FreeBSD. The Windows PNP manager will invoke the driver's AddDevice() function and pass it pointers to the DRIVER_OBJECT and the PDO. The AddDevice() function then creates a new DRIVER_OBJECT structure of its own. This is known as the Functional Device Object (FDO) and corresponds roughly to a private softc instance. The driver uses IoAttachDeviceToDeviceStack() to add this device object to the driver stack for this PDO. Subsequent drivers (called filter drivers in Windows-speak) can be loaded which add themselves to the stack. When someone issues an IRP to a device, it travel along the stack passing through several possible filter drivers until it reaches the functional driver (which actually knows how to talk to the hardware) at which point it will be completed. This is how Windows achieves driver layering. Project Evil now simulates most of this. if_ndis now has a modevent handler which will use MOD_LOAD and MOD_UNLOAD events to drive the creation and destruction of DRIVER_OBJECTs. (The load event also does the relocation/dynalinking of the image.) We don't have a registry, so the DRIVER_OBJECTS are stored in a linked list for now. Eventually, the list entry will contain the vendor/device ID list extracted from the .INF file. When ndis_probe() is called and detectes a supported device, it will create a PDO for the device instance and attach it to the DRIVER_OBJECT just as in Windows. ndis_attach() will then call our NdisAddDevice() handler to create the FDO. The NDIS miniport block is now a device extension hung off the FDO, just as it is in Windows. The miniport characteristics table is now an extension hung off the DRIVER_OBJECT as well (the characteristics are the same for all devices handled by a given driver, so they don't need to be per-instance.) We also do an IoAttachDeviceToDeviceStack() to put the FDO on the stack for the PDO. There are a couple of fake bus drivers created for the PCI and pccard buses. Eventually, there will be one for USB, which will actually accept USB IRP.s Things should still work just as before, only now we do things in the proper order and maintain the correct framework to support passing IRPs between drivers. Various changes: - corrected the comments about IRQL handling in subr_hal.c to more accurately reflect reality - update ndiscvt to make the drv_data symbol in ndis_driver_data.h a global so that if_ndis_pci.o and/or if_ndis_pccard.o can see it. - Obtain the softc pointer from the miniport block by referencing the PDO rather than a private pointer of our own (nmb_ifp is no longer used) - implement IoAttachDeviceToDeviceStack(), IoDetachDevice(), IoGetAttachedDevice(), IoAllocateDriverObjectExtension(), IoGetDriverObjectExtension(), IoCreateDevice(), IoDeleteDevice(), IoAllocateIrp(), IoReuseIrp(), IoMakeAssociatedIrp(), IoFreeIrp(), IoInitializeIrp() - fix a few mistakes in the driver_object and device_object definitions - add a new module, kern_windrv.c, to handle the driver registration and relocation/dynalinkign duties (which don't really belong in kern_ndis.c). - made ndis_block and ndis_chars in the ndis_softc stucture pointers and modified all references to it - fixed NdisMRegisterMiniport() and NdisInitializeWrapper() so they work correctly with the new driver_object mechanism - changed ndis_attach() to call NdisAddDevice() instead of ndis_load_driver() (which is now deprecated) - used ExAllocatePoolWithTag()/ExFreePool() in lookaside list routines instead of kludged up alloc/free routines - added kern_windrv.c to sys/modules/ndis/Makefile and files.i386.

Create new i386 windows/bsd thunking layer, similar to the amd64 thunking layer, but with a twist. The twist has to do with the fact that Microsoft supports structured exception handling in kernel mode. On the i386 arch, exception handling is implemented by hanging an exception registration list off the Thread Environment Block (TEB), and the TEB is accessed via the %fs register. The problem is, we use %fs as a pointer to the pcpu stucture, which means any driver that tries to write through %fs:0 will overwrite the curthread pointer and make a serious mess of things. To get around this, Project Evil now creates a special entry in the GDT on each processor. When we call into Windows code, a context switch routine will fix up %fs so it points to our new descriptor, which in turn points to a fake TEB. When the Windows code returns, or calls out to an external routine, we swap %fs back again. Currently, Project Evil makes use of GDT slot 7, which is all 0s by default. I fully expect someone to jump up and say I can't do that, but I couldn't find any code that makes use of this entry anywhere. Sadly, this was the only method I could come up with that worked on both UP and SMP. (Modifying the LDT works on UP, but becomes incredibly complicated on SMP.) If necessary, the context switching stuff can be yanked out while preserving the convention calling wrappers. (Fortunately, it looks like Microsoft uses some special epilog/prolog code on amd64 to implement exception handling, so the same nastiness won't be necessary on that arch.) The advantages are: - Any driver that uses %fs as though it were a TEB pointer won't clobber pcpu. - All the __stdcall/__fastcall/__regparm stuff that's specific to gcc goes away. Also, while I'm here, switch NdisGetSystemUpTime() back to using nanouptime() again. It turns out nanouptime() is way more accurate than just using ticks(). On slower machines, the Atheros drivers I tested seem to take a long time to associate due to the loss in accuracy.

When a Windows bus driver detects a new device, it creates a Physical Device Object (PDO) for it. This is a DEVICE_OBJECT structure, with semantics analagous to that of a device_t in FreeBSD. The Windows PNP manager will invoke the driver's AddDevice() function and pass it pointers to the DRIVER_OBJECT and the PDO. The AddDevice() function then creates a new DRIVER_OBJECT structure of its own. This is known as the Functional Device Object (FDO) and corresponds roughly to a private softc instance. The driver uses IoAttachDeviceToDeviceStack() to add this device object to the driver stack for this PDO. Subsequent drivers (called filter drivers in Windows-speak) can be loaded which add themselves to the stack. When someone issues an IRP to a device, it travel along the stack passing through several possible filter drivers until it reaches the functional driver (which actually knows how to talk to the hardware) at which point it will be completed. This is how Windows achieves driver layering. Project Evil now simulates most of this. if_ndis now has a modevent handler which will use MOD_LOAD and MOD_UNLOAD events to drive the creation and destruction of DRIVER_OBJECTs. (The load event also does the relocation/dynalinking of the image.) We don't have a registry, so the DRIVER_OBJECTS are stored in a linked list for now. Eventually, the list entry will contain the vendor/device ID list extracted from the .INF file. When ndis_probe() is called and detectes a supported device, it will create a PDO for the device instance and attach it to the DRIVER_OBJECT just as in Windows. ndis_attach() will then call our NdisAddDevice() handler to create the FDO. The NDIS miniport block is now a device extension hung off the FDO, just as it is in Windows. The miniport characteristics table is now an extension hung off the DRIVER_OBJECT as well (the characteristics are the same for all devices handled by a given driver, so they don't need to be per-instance.) We also do an IoAttachDeviceToDeviceStack() to put the FDO on the stack for the PDO. There are a couple of fake bus drivers created for the PCI and pccard buses. Eventually, there will be one for USB, which will actually accept USB IRP.s Things should still work just as before, only now we do things in the proper order and maintain the correct framework to support passing IRPs between drivers. Various changes: - corrected the comments about IRQL handling in subr_hal.c to more accurately reflect reality - update ndiscvt to make the drv_data symbol in ndis_driver_data.h a global so that if_ndis_pci.o and/or if_ndis_pccard.o can see it. - Obtain the softc pointer from the miniport block by referencing the PDO rather than a private pointer of our own (nmb_ifp is no longer used) - implement IoAttachDeviceToDeviceStack(), IoDetachDevice(), IoGetAttachedDevice(), IoAllocateDriverObjectExtension(), IoGetDriverObjectExtension(), IoCreateDevice(), IoDeleteDevice(), IoAllocateIrp(), IoReuseIrp(), IoMakeAssociatedIrp(), IoFreeIrp(), IoInitializeIrp() - fix a few mistakes in the driver_object and device_object definitions - add a new module, kern_windrv.c, to handle the driver registration and relocation/dynalinkign duties (which don't really belong in kern_ndis.c). - made ndis_block and ndis_chars in the ndis_softc stucture pointers and modified all references to it - fixed NdisMRegisterMiniport() and NdisInitializeWrapper() so they work correctly with the new driver_object mechanism - changed ndis_attach() to call NdisAddDevice() instead of ndis_load_driver() (which is now deprecated) - used ExAllocatePoolWithTag()/ExFreePool() in lookaside list routines instead of kludged up alloc/free routines - added kern_windrv.c to sys/modules/ndis/Makefile and files.i386.

Commit the first cut of Project Evil, also known as the NDISulator. Yes, it's what you think it is. Yes, you should run away now. This is a special compatibility module for allowing Windows NDIS miniport network drivers to be used with FreeBSD/x86. This provides _binary_ NDIS compatibility (not source): you can run NDIS driver code, but you can't build it. There are three main parts: sys/compat/ndis: the NDIS compat API, which provides binary compatibility functions for many routines in NDIS.SYS, HAL.dll and ntoskrnl.exe in Windows (these are the three modules that most NDIS miniport drivers use). The compat module also contains a small PE relocator/dynalinker which relocates the Windows .SYS image and then patches in our native routines. sys/dev/if_ndis: the if_ndis driver wrapper. This module makes use of the ndis compat API and can be compiled with a specially prepared binary image file (ndis_driver_data.h) containing the Windows .SYS image and registry key information parsed out of the accompanying .INF file. Once if_ndis.ko is built, it can be loaded and unloaded just like a native FreeBSD kenrel module. usr.sbin/ndiscvt: a special utility that converts foo.sys and foo.inf into an ndis_driver_data.h file that can be compiled into if_ndis.o. Contains an .inf file parser graciously provided by Matt Dodd (and mercilessly hacked upon by me) that strips out device ID info and registry key info from a .INF file and packages it up with a binary image array. The ndiscvt(8) utility also does some manipulation of the segments within the .sys file to make life easier for the kernel loader. (Doing the manipulation here saves the kernel code from having to move things around later, which would waste memory.) ndiscvt is only built for the i386 arch. Only files.i386 has been updated, and none of this is turned on in GENERIC. It should probably work on pc98. I have no idea about amd64 or ia64 at this point. This is still a work in progress. I estimate it's about %85 done, but I want it under CVS control so I can track subsequent changes. It has been tested with exactly three drivers: the LinkSys LNE100TX v4 driver (Lne100v4.sys), the sample Intel 82559 driver from the Windows DDK (e100bex.sys) and the Broadcom BCM43xx wireless driver (bcmwl5.sys). It still needs to have a net80211 stuff added to it. To use it, you would do something like this: # cd /sys/modules/ndis # make; make load # cd /sys/modules/if_ndis # ndiscvt -i /path/to/foo.inf -s /path/to/foo.sys -o ndis_driver_data.h # make; make load # sysctl -a | grep ndis All registry keys are mapped to sysctl nodes. Sometimes drivers refer to registry keys that aren't mentioned in foo.inf. If this happens, the NDIS API module creates sysctl nodes for these keys on the fly so you can tweak them. An example usage of the Broadcom wireless driver would be: # sysctl hw.ndis0.EnableAutoConnect=1 # sysctl hw.ndis0.SSID="MY_SSID" # sysctl hw.ndis0.NetworkType=0 (0 for bss, 1 for adhoc) # ifconfig ndis0 <my ipaddr> netmask 0xffffff00 up Things to be done: - get rid of debug messages - add in ndis80211 support - defer transmissions until after a status update with NDIS_STATUS_CONNECTED occurs - Create smarter lookaside list support - Split off if_ndis_pci.c and if_ndis_pccard.c attachments - Make sure PCMCIA support works - Fix ndiscvt to properly parse PCMCIA device IDs from INF files - write ndisapi.9 man page

Another round of cleanups and fixes: - Change ndis_return() from a DPC to a workitem so that it doesn't run at DISPATCH_LEVEL (with the dispatcher lock held). - In if_ndis.c, submit packets to the stack via (*ifp->if_input)() in a workitem instead of doing it directly in ndis_rxeof(), because ndis_rxeof() runs in a DPC, and hence at DISPATCH_LEVEL. This implies that the 'dispatch level' mutex for the current CPU is being held, and we don't want to call if_input while holding any locks. - Reimplement IoConnectInterrupt()/IoDisconnectInterrupt(). The original approach I used to track down the interrupt resource (by scanning the device tree starting at the nexus) is prone to problems when two devices share an interrupt. (E.g removing ndis1 might disable interrupts for ndis0.) The new approach is to multiplex all the NDIS interrupts through a common internal dispatcher (ntoskrnl_intr()) and allow IoConnectInterrupt()/IoDisconnectInterrupt() to add or remove interrupts from the dispatch list. - Implement KeAcquireInterruptSpinLock() and KeReleaseInterruptSpinLock(). - Change the DPC and workitem threads to use the KeXXXSpinLock API instead of mtx_lock_spin()/mtx_unlock_spin(). - Simplify the NdisXXXPacket routines by creating an actual packet pool structure and using the InterlockedSList routines to manage the packet queue. - Only honor the value returned by OID_GEN_MAXIMUM_SEND_PACKETS for serialized drivers. For deserialized drivers, we now create a packet array of 64 entries. (The Microsoft DDK documentation says that for deserialized miniports, OID_GEN_MAXIMUM_SEND_PACKETS is ignored, and the driver for the Marvell 8335 chip, which is a deserialized miniport, returns 1 when queried.) - Clean up timer handling in subr_ntoskrnl. - Add the following conditional debugging code: NTOSKRNL_DEBUG_TIMERS - add debugging and stats for timers NDIS_DEBUG_PACKETS - add extra sanity checking for NdisXXXPacket API NTOSKRNL_DEBUG_SPINLOCKS - add test for spinning too long - In kern_ndis.c, always start the HAL first and shut it down last, since Windows spinlocks depend on it. Ntoskrnl should similarly be started second and shut down next to last.

Commit the first cut of Project Evil, also known as the NDISulator. Yes, it's what you think it is. Yes, you should run away now. This is a special compatibility module for allowing Windows NDIS miniport network drivers to be used with FreeBSD/x86. This provides _binary_ NDIS compatibility (not source): you can run NDIS driver code, but you can't build it. There are three main parts: sys/compat/ndis: the NDIS compat API, which provides binary compatibility functions for many routines in NDIS.SYS, HAL.dll and ntoskrnl.exe in Windows (these are the three modules that most NDIS miniport drivers use). The compat module also contains a small PE relocator/dynalinker which relocates the Windows .SYS image and then patches in our native routines. sys/dev/if_ndis: the if_ndis driver wrapper. This module makes use of the ndis compat API and can be compiled with a specially prepared binary image file (ndis_driver_data.h) containing the Windows .SYS image and registry key information parsed out of the accompanying .INF file. Once if_ndis.ko is built, it can be loaded and unloaded just like a native FreeBSD kenrel module. usr.sbin/ndiscvt: a special utility that converts foo.sys and foo.inf into an ndis_driver_data.h file that can be compiled into if_ndis.o. Contains an .inf file parser graciously provided by Matt Dodd (and mercilessly hacked upon by me) that strips out device ID info and registry key info from a .INF file and packages it up with a binary image array. The ndiscvt(8) utility also does some manipulation of the segments within the .sys file to make life easier for the kernel loader. (Doing the manipulation here saves the kernel code from having to move things around later, which would waste memory.) ndiscvt is only built for the i386 arch. Only files.i386 has been updated, and none of this is turned on in GENERIC. It should probably work on pc98. I have no idea about amd64 or ia64 at this point. This is still a work in progress. I estimate it's about %85 done, but I want it under CVS control so I can track subsequent changes. It has been tested with exactly three drivers: the LinkSys LNE100TX v4 driver (Lne100v4.sys), the sample Intel 82559 driver from the Windows DDK (e100bex.sys) and the Broadcom BCM43xx wireless driver (bcmwl5.sys). It still needs to have a net80211 stuff added to it. To use it, you would do something like this: # cd /sys/modules/ndis # make; make load # cd /sys/modules/if_ndis # ndiscvt -i /path/to/foo.inf -s /path/to/foo.sys -o ndis_driver_data.h # make; make load # sysctl -a | grep ndis All registry keys are mapped to sysctl nodes. Sometimes drivers refer to registry keys that aren't mentioned in foo.inf. If this happens, the NDIS API module creates sysctl nodes for these keys on the fly so you can tweak them. An example usage of the Broadcom wireless driver would be: # sysctl hw.ndis0.EnableAutoConnect=1 # sysctl hw.ndis0.SSID="MY_SSID" # sysctl hw.ndis0.NetworkType=0 (0 for bss, 1 for adhoc) # ifconfig ndis0 <my ipaddr> netmask 0xffffff00 up Things to be done: - get rid of debug messages - add in ndis80211 support - defer transmissions until after a status update with NDIS_STATUS_CONNECTED occurs - Create smarter lookaside list support - Split off if_ndis_pci.c and if_ndis_pccard.c attachments - Make sure PCMCIA support works - Fix ndiscvt to properly parse PCMCIA device IDs from INF files - write ndisapi.9 man page

Another round of cleanups and fixes: - Change ndis_return() from a DPC to a workitem so that it doesn't run at DISPATCH_LEVEL (with the dispatcher lock held). - In if_ndis.c, submit packets to the stack via (*ifp->if_input)() in a workitem instead of doing it directly in ndis_rxeof(), because ndis_rxeof() runs in a DPC, and hence at DISPATCH_LEVEL. This implies that the 'dispatch level' mutex for the current CPU is being held, and we don't want to call if_input while holding any locks. - Reimplement IoConnectInterrupt()/IoDisconnectInterrupt(). The original approach I used to track down the interrupt resource (by scanning the device tree starting at the nexus) is prone to problems when two devices share an interrupt. (E.g removing ndis1 might disable interrupts for ndis0.) The new approach is to multiplex all the NDIS interrupts through a common internal dispatcher (ntoskrnl_intr()) and allow IoConnectInterrupt()/IoDisconnectInterrupt() to add or remove interrupts from the dispatch list. - Implement KeAcquireInterruptSpinLock() and KeReleaseInterruptSpinLock(). - Change the DPC and workitem threads to use the KeXXXSpinLock API instead of mtx_lock_spin()/mtx_unlock_spin(). - Simplify the NdisXXXPacket routines by creating an actual packet pool structure and using the InterlockedSList routines to manage the packet queue. - Only honor the value returned by OID_GEN_MAXIMUM_SEND_PACKETS for serialized drivers. For deserialized drivers, we now create a packet array of 64 entries. (The Microsoft DDK documentation says that for deserialized miniports, OID_GEN_MAXIMUM_SEND_PACKETS is ignored, and the driver for the Marvell 8335 chip, which is a deserialized miniport, returns 1 when queried.) - Clean up timer handling in subr_ntoskrnl. - Add the following conditional debugging code: NTOSKRNL_DEBUG_TIMERS - add debugging and stats for timers NDIS_DEBUG_PACKETS - add extra sanity checking for NdisXXXPacket API NTOSKRNL_DEBUG_SPINLOCKS - add test for spinning too long - In kern_ndis.c, always start the HAL first and shut it down last, since Windows spinlocks depend on it.

We also do an IoAttachDeviceToDeviceStack() to put the FDO on the stack for the PDO. There are a couple of fake bus drivers created for the PCI and pccard buses. Eventually, there will be one for USB, which will actually accept USB IRP.s Things should still work just as before, only now we do things in the proper order and maintain the correct framework to support passing IRPs between drivers. Various changes: - corrected the comments about IRQL handling in subr_hal.c to more accurately reflect reality - update ndiscvt to make the drv_data symbol in ndis_driver_data.h a global so that if_ndis_pci.o and/or if_ndis_pccard.o can see it. - Obtain the softc pointer from the miniport block by referencing the PDO rather than a private pointer of our own (nmb_ifp is no longer used) - implement IoAttachDeviceToDeviceStack(), IoDetachDevice(), IoGetAttachedDevice(), IoAllocateDriverObjectExtension(), IoGetDriverObjectExtension(), IoCreateDevice(), IoDeleteDevice(), IoAllocateIrp(), IoReuseIrp(), IoMakeAssociatedIrp(), IoFreeIrp(), IoInitializeIrp() - fix a few mistakes in the driver_object and device_object definitions - add a new module, kern_windrv.c, to handle the driver registration and relocation/dynalinkign duties (which don't really belong in kern_ndis.c). - made ndis_block and ndis_chars in the ndis_softc stucture pointers and modified all references to it - fixed NdisMRegisterMiniport() and NdisInitializeWrapper() so they work correctly with the new driver_object mechanism - changed ndis_attach() to call NdisAddDevice() instead of ndis_load_driver() (which is now deprecated) - used ExAllocatePoolWithTag()/ExFreePool() in lookaside list routines instead of kludged up alloc/free routines - added kern_windrv.c to sys/modules/ndis/Makefile and files.i386.

Add support for Windows/x86-64 binaries to Project Evil. Ville-Pertti Keinonen (will at exomi dot comohmygodnospampleasekthx) deserves a big thanks for submitting initial patches to make it work. I have mangled his contributions appropriately. The main gotcha with Windows/x86-64 is that Microsoft uses a different calling convention than everyone else. The standard ABI requires using 6 registers for argument passing, with other arguments on the stack. Microsoft uses only 4 registers, and requires the caller to leave room on the stack for the register arguments incase the callee needs to spill them. Unlike x86, where Microsoft uses a mix of _cdecl, _stdcall and _fastcall, all routines on Windows/x86-64 uses the same convention. This unfortunately means that all the functions we export to the driver require an intermediate translation wrapper. Similarly, we have to wrap all calls back into the driver binary itself. The original patches provided macros to wrap every single routine at compile time, providing a secondary jump table with a customized wrapper for each exported routine. I decided to use a different approach: the call wrapper for each function is created from a template at runtime, and the routine to jump to is patched into the wrapper as it is created. The subr_pe module has been modified to patch in the wrapped function instead of the original. (On x86, the wrapping routine is a no-op.) There are some minor API differences that had to be accounted for: - KeAcquireSpinLock() is a real function on amd64, not a macro wrapper around KfAcquireSpinLock() - NdisFreeBuffer() is actually IoFreeMdl(). I had to change the whole NDIS_BUFFER API a bit to accomodate this. Bugs fixed along the way: - IoAllocateMdl() always returned NULL - kern_windrv.c:windrv_unload() wasn't releasing private driver object extensions correctly (found thanks to memguard) This has only been tested with the driver for the Broadcom 802.11g chipset, which was the only Windows/x86-64 driver I could find.

This commit makes a big round of updates and fixes many, many things. First and most importantly, I threw out the thread priority-twiddling implementation of KeRaiseIrql()/KeLowerIrq()/KeGetCurrentIrql() in favor of a new scheme that uses sleep mutexes. The old scheme was really very naughty and sought to provide the same behavior as Windows spinlocks (i.e. blocking pre-emption) but in a way that wouldn't raise the ire of WITNESS. The new scheme represents 'DISPATCH_LEVEL' as the acquisition of a per-cpu sleep mutex. If a thread on cpu0 acquires the 'dispatcher mutex,' it will block any other thread on the same processor that tries to acquire it, in effect only allowing one thread on the processor to be at 'DISPATCH_LEVEL' at any given time. It can then do the 'atomic sit and spin' routine on the spinlock variable itself. If a thread on cpu1 wants to acquire the same spinlock, it acquires the 'dispatcher mutex' for cpu1 and then it too does an atomic sit and spin to try acquiring the spinlock. Unlike real spinlocks, this does not disable pre-emption of all threads on the CPU, but it does put any threads involved with the NDISulator to sleep, which is just as good for our purposes. This means I can now play nice with WITNESS, and I can safely do things like call malloc() when I'm at 'DISPATCH_LEVEL,' which you're allowed to do in Windows. Next, I completely re-wrote most of the event/timer/mutex handling and wait code. KeWaitForSingleObject() and KeWaitForMultipleObjects() have been re-written to use condition variables instead of msleep(). This allows us to use the Windows convention whereby thread A can tell thread B "wake up with a boosted priority." (With msleep(), you instead have thread B saying "when I get woken up, I'll use this priority here," and thread A can't tell it to do otherwise.) The new KeWaitForMultipleObjects() has been better tested and better duplicates the semantics of its Windows counterpart. I also overhauled the IoQueueWorkItem() API and underlying code. Like KeInsertQueueDpc(), IoQueueWorkItem() must insure that the same work item isn't put on the queue twice. ExQueueWorkItem(), which in my implementation is built on top of IoQueueWorkItem(), was also modified to perform a similar test. I renamed the doubly-linked list macros to give them the same names as their Windows counterparts and fixed RemoveListTail() and RemoveListHead() so they properly return the removed item. I also corrected the list handling code in ntoskrnl_dpc_thread() and ntoskrnl_workitem_thread(). I realized that the original logic did not correctly handle the case where a DPC callout tries to queue up another DPC. It works correctly now. I implemented IoConnectInterrupt() and IoDisconnectInterrupt() and modified NdisMRegisterInterrupt() and NdisMDisconnectInterrupt() to use them. I also tried to duplicate the interrupt handling scheme used in Windows. The interrupt handling is now internal to ndis.ko, and the ndis_intr() function has been removed from if_ndis.c. (In the USB case, interrupt handling isn't needed in if_ndis.c anyway.) NdisMSleep() has been rewritten to use a KeWaitForSingleObject() and a KeTimer, which is how it works in Windows. (This is mainly to insure that the NDISulator uses the KeTimer API so I can spot any problems with it that may arise.) KeCancelTimer() has been changed so that it only cancels timers, and does not attempt to cancel a DPC if the timer managed to fire and queue one up before KeCancelTimer() was called. The Windows DDK documentation seems to imply that KeCantelTimer() will also call KeRemoveQueueDpc() if necessary, but it really doesn't. The KeTimer implementation has been rewritten to use the callout API directly instead of timeout()/untimeout(). I still cheat a little in that I have to manage my own small callout timer wheel, but the timer code works more smoothly now. I discovered a race condition using timeout()/untimeout() with periodic timers where untimeout() fails to actually cancel a timer. I don't quite understand where the race is, using callout_init()/callout_reset()/callout_stop() directly seems to fix it. I also discovered and fixed a bug in winx32_wrap.S related to translating _stdcall calls. There are a couple of routines (i.e. the 64-bit arithmetic intrinsics in subr_ntoskrnl) that return 64-bit quantities. On the x86 arch, 64-bit values are returned in the %eax and %edx registers. However, it happens that the ctxsw_utow() routine uses %edx as a scratch register, and x86_stdcall_wrap() and x86_stdcall_call() were only preserving %eax before branching to ctxsw_utow(). This means %edx was getting clobbered in some cases. Curiously, the most noticeable effect of this bug is that the driver for the TI AXC110 chipset would constantly drop and reacquire its link for no apparent reason. Both %eax and %edx are preserved on the stack now. The _fastcall and _regparm wrappers already handled everything correctly. I changed if_ndis to use IoAllocateWorkItem() and IoQueueWorkItem() instead of the NdisScheduleWorkItem() API. This is to avoid possible deadlocks with any drivers that use NdisScheduleWorkItem() themselves. The unicode/ansi conversion handling code has been cleaned up. The internal routines have been moved to subr_ntoskrnl and the RtlXXX routines have been exported so that subr_ndis can call them. This removes the incestuous relationship between the two modules regarding this code and fixes the implementation so that it honors the 'maxlen' fields correctly. (Previously it was possible for NdisUnicodeStringToAnsiString() to possibly clobber memory it didn't own, which was causing many mysterious crashes in the Marvell 8335 driver.) The registry handling code (NdisOpen/Close/ReadConfiguration()) has been fixed to allocate memory for all the parameters it hands out to callers and delete whem when NdisCloseConfiguration() is called. (Previously, it would secretly use a single static buffer.) I also substantially updated if_ndis so that the source can now be built on FreeBSD 7, 6 and 5 without any changes. On FreeBSD 5, only WEP support is enabled. On FreeBSD 6 and 7, WPA-PSK support is enabled. The original WPA code has been updated to fit in more cleanly with the net80211 API, and to eleminate the use of magic numbers. The ndis_80211_setstate() routine now sets a default authmode of OPEN and initializes the RTS threshold and fragmentation threshold. The WPA routines were changed so that the authentication mode is always set first, followed by the cipher. Some drivers depend on the operations being performed in this order. I also added passthrough ioctls that allow application code to directly call the MiniportSetInformation()/MiniportQueryInformation() methods via ndis_set_info() and ndis_get_info(). The ndis_linksts() routine also caches the last 4 events signalled by the driver via NdisMIndicateStatus(), and they can be queried by an application via a separate ioctl. This is done to allow wpa_supplicant to directly program the various crypto and key management options in the driver, allowing things like WPA2 support to work. Whew.

This commit makes a bunch of changes, some big, some not so big. - Remove the old task threads from kern_ndis.c and reimplement them in subr_ntoskrnl.c, in order to more properly emulate the Windows DPC API. Each CPU gets its own DPC queue/thread, and each queue can have low, medium and high importance DPCs. New APIs implemented: KeSetTargetProcessorDpc(), KeSetImportanceDpc() and KeFlushQueuedDpcs(). (This is the biggest change.) - Fix a bug in NdisMInitializeTimer(): the k_dpc pointer in the nmt_timer embedded in the ndis_miniport_timer struct must be set to point to the DPC, also embedded in the struct. Failing to do this breaks dequeueing of DPCs submitted via timers, and in turn breaks cancelling timers. - Fix a bug in KeCancelTimer(): if the timer is interted in the timer queue (i.e. the timeout callback is still pending), we have to both untimeout() the timer _and_ call KeRemoveQueueDpc() to nuke the DPC that might be pending. Failing to do this breaks cancellation of periodic timers, which always appear to be inserted in the timer queue. - Make use of the nmt_nexttimer field in ndis_miniport_timer: keep a queue of pending timers and cancel them all in ndis_halt_nic(), prior to calling MiniportHalt(). Also call KeFlushQueuedDpcs() to make sure any DPCs queued by the timers have expired. - Modify NdisMAllocateSharedMemory() and NdisMFreeSharedMemory() to keep track of both the virtual and physical addresses of the shared memory buffers that get handed out. The AirGo MIMO driver appears to have a bug in it: for one of the segments is allocates, it returns the wrong virtual address. This would confuse NdisMFreeSharedMemory() and cause a crash. Why it doesn't crash Windows too I have no idea (from reading the documentation for NdisMFreeSharedMemory(), it appears to be a violation of the API). - Implement strstr(), strchr() and MmIsAddressValid(). - Implement IoAllocateWorkItem(), IoFreeWorkItem(), IoQueueWorkItem() and ExQueueWorkItem(). (This is the second biggest change.) - Make NdisScheduleWorkItem() call ExQueueWorkItem(). (Note that the ExQueueWorkItem() API is deprecated by Microsoft, but NDIS still uses it, since NdisScheduleWorkItem() is incompatible with the IoXXXWorkItem() API.) - Change if_ndis.c to use the NdisScheduleWorkItem() interface for scheduling tasks. With all these changes and fixes, the AirGo MIMO driver for the Belkin F5D8010 Pre-N card now works. Special thanks to Paul Robinson (paul dawt robinson at pwermedia dawt net) for the loan of a card for testing.

KeSetImportanceDpc(&fdo->do_dpc, KDPC_IMPORTANCE_HIGH);
Finally bring an end to the great "make the Atheros NDIS driver work on SMP" saga. After several weeks and much gnashing of teeth, I have finally tracked down all the problems, despite their best efforts to confound and annoy me. Problem nunmber one: the Atheros windows driver is _NOT_ a de-serialized miniport! It used to be that NDIS drivers relied on the NDIS library itself for all their locking and serialization needs. Transmit packet queues were all handled internally by NDIS, and all calls to MiniportXXX() routines were guaranteed to be appropriately serialized. This proved to be a performance problem however, and Microsoft introduced de-serialized miniports with the NDIS 5.x spec. Microsoft still supports serialized miniports, but recommends that all new drivers written for Windows XP and later be deserialized. Apparently Atheros wasn't listening when they said this. This means (among other things) that we have to serialize calls to MiniportSendPackets(). We also have to serialize calls to MiniportTimer() that are triggered via the NdisMInitializeTimer() routine. It finally dawned on me why NdisMInitializeTimer() takes a special NDIS_MINIPORT_TIMER structure and a pointer to the miniport block: the timer callback must be serialized, and it's only by saving the miniport block handle that we can get access to the serialization lock during the timer callback. Problem number two: haunted hardware. The thing that was _really_ driving me absolutely bonkers for the longest time is that, for some reason I couldn't understand, my test machine would occasionally freeze or more frustratingly, reset completely. That's reset and in *pow!* back to the BIOS startup. No panic, no crashdump, just a reset. This appeared to happen most often when MiniportReset() was called. (As to why MiniportReset() was being called, see problem three below.) I thought maybe I had created some sort of horrible deadlock condition in the process of adding the serialization, but after three weeks, at least 6 different locking implementations and heroic efforts to debug the spinlock code, the machine still kept resetting. Finally, I started single stepping through the MiniportReset() routine in the driver using the kernel debugger, and this ultimately led me to the source of the problem. One of the last things the Atheros MiniportReset() routine does is call NdisReadPciSlotInformation() several times to inspect a portion of the device's PCI config space. It reads the same chunk of config space repeatedly, in rapid succession. Presumeably, it's polling the hardware for some sort of event. The reset occurs partway through this process. I discovered that when I single-stepped through this portion of the routine, the reset didn't occur. So I inserted a 1 microsecond delay into the read loop in NdisReadPciSlotInformation(). Suddenly, the reset was gone!! I'm still very puzzled by the whole thing. What I suspect is happening is that reading the PCI config space so quickly is causing a severe PCI bus error. My test system is a Sun w2100z dual Opteron system, and the NIC is a miniPCI card mounted in a miniPCI-to-PCI carrier card, plugged into a 100Mhz PCI slot. It's possible that this combination of hardware causes a bus protocol violation in this scenario which leads to a fatal machine check. This is pure speculation though. Really all I know for sure is that inserting the delay makes the problem go away. (To quote Homer Simpson: "I don't know how it works, but fire makes it good!") Problem number three: NdisAllocatePacket() needs to make sure to initialize the npp_validcounts field in the 'private' section of the NDIS_PACKET structure. The reason if_ndis was calling the MiniportReset() routine in the first place is that packet transmits were sometimes hanging. When sending a packet, an NDIS driver will call NdisQueryPacket() to learn how many physical buffers the packet resides in. NdisQueryPacket() is actually a macro, which traverses the NDIS_BUFFER list attached to the NDIS_PACKET and stashes some of the results in the 'private' section of the NDIS_PACKET. It also sets the npp_validcounts field to TRUE To indicate that the results are now valid. The problem is, now that if_ndis creates a pool of transmit packets via NdisAllocatePacketPool(), it's important that each time a new packet is allocated via NdisAllocatePacket() that validcounts be initialized to FALSE. If it isn't, and a previously transmitted NDIS_PACKET is pulled out of the pool, it may contain stale data from a previous transmission which won't get updated by NdisQueryPacket(). This would cause the driver to miscompute the number of fragments for a given packet, and botch the transmission. Fixing these three problems seems to make the Atheros driver happy on SMP, which hopefully means other serialized miniports will be happy too. And there was much rejoicing. Other stuff fixed along the way: - Modified ndis_thsuspend() to take a mutex as an argument. This allows KeWaitForSingleObject() and KeWaitForMultipleObjects() to avoid any possible race conditions with other routines that use the dispatcher lock. - Fixed KeCancelTimer() so that it returns the correct value for 'pending' according to the Microsoft documentation - Modfied NdisGetSystemUpTime() to use ticks and hz rather than calling nanouptime(). Also added comment that this routine wraps after 49.7 days. - Added macros for KeAcquireSpinLock()/KeReleaseSpinLock() to hide all the MSCALL() goop. - For x86, KeAcquireSpinLockRaiseToDpc() needs to be a separate function. This is because it's supposed to be _stdcall on the x86 arch, whereas KeAcquireSpinLock() is supposed to be _fastcall. On amd64, all routines use the same calling convention so we can just map KeAcquireSpinLockRaiseToDpc() directly to KfAcquireSpinLock() and it will work. (The _fastcall attribute is a no-op on amd64.) - Implement and use IoInitializeDpcRequest() and IoRequestDpc() (they're just macros) and use them for interrupt handling. This allows us to move the ndis_intrtask() routine from if_ndis.c to kern_ndis.c. - Fix the MmInitializeMdl() macro so that is uses sizeof(vm_offset_t) when computing mdl_size instead of uint32_t, so that it matches the MmSizeOfMdl() routine. - Change a could of M_WAITOKs to M_NOWAITs in the unicode routines in subr_ndis.c. - Use the dispatcher lock a little more consistently in subr_ntoskrnl.c. - Get rid of the "wait for link event" hack in ndis_init(). Now that I fixed NdisReadPciSlotInformation(), it seems I don't need it anymore. This should fix the witness panic a couple of people have reported. - Use MSCALL1() when calling the MiniportHangCheck() function in ndis_ticktask(). I accidentally missed this one when adding the wrapping for amd64.

Next step on the road to IRPs: create and use an imitation of the Windows DRIVER_OBJECT and DEVICE_OBJECT mechanism so that we can simulate driver stacking. In Windows, each loaded driver image is attached to a DRIVER_OBJECT structure. Windows uses the registry to match up a given vendor/device ID combination with a corresponding DRIVER_OBJECT. When a driver image is first loaded, its DriverEntry() routine is invoked, which sets up the AddDevice() function pointer in the DRIVER_OBJECT and creates a dispatch table (based on IRP major codes). When a Windows bus driver detects a new device, it creates a Physical Device Object (PDO) for it. This is a DEVICE_OBJECT structure, with semantics analagous to that of a device_t in FreeBSD. The Windows PNP manager will invoke the driver's AddDevice() function and pass it pointers to the DRIVER_OBJECT and the PDO. The AddDevice() function then creates a new DRIVER_OBJECT structure of its own. This is known as the Functional Device Object (FDO) and corresponds roughly to a private softc instance. The driver uses IoAttachDeviceToDeviceStack() to add this device object to the driver stack for this PDO. Subsequent drivers (called filter drivers in Windows-speak) can be loaded which add themselves to the stack. When someone issues an IRP to a device, it travel along the stack passing through several possible filter drivers until it reaches the functional driver (which actually knows how to talk to the hardware) at which point it will be completed. This is how Windows achieves driver layering. Project Evil now simulates most of this. if_ndis now has a modevent handler which will use MOD_LOAD and MOD_UNLOAD events to drive the creation and destruction of DRIVER_OBJECTs. (The load event also does the relocation/dynalinking of the image.) We don't have a registry, so the DRIVER_OBJECTS are stored in a linked list for now. Eventually, the list entry will contain the vendor/device ID list extracted from the .INF file. When ndis_probe() is called and detectes a supported device, it will create a PDO for the device instance and attach it to the DRIVER_OBJECT just as in Windows. ndis_attach() will then call our NdisAddDevice() handler to create the FDO. The NDIS miniport block is now a device extension hung off the FDO, just as it is in Windows. The miniport characteristics table is now an extension hung off the DRIVER_OBJECT as well (the characteristics are the same for all devices handled by a given driver, so they don't need to be per-instance.) We also do an IoAttachDeviceToDeviceStack() to put the FDO on the stack for the PDO. There are a couple of fake bus drivers created for the PCI and pccard buses. Eventually, there will be one for USB, which will actually accept USB IRP.s Things should still work just as before, only now we do things in the proper order and maintain the correct framework to support passing IRPs between drivers. Various changes: - corrected the comments about IRQL handling in subr_hal.c to more accurately reflect reality - update ndiscvt to make the drv_data symbol in ndis_driver_data.h a global so that if_ndis_pci.o and/or if_ndis_pccard.o can see it. - Obtain the softc pointer from the miniport block by referencing the PDO rather than a private pointer of our own (nmb_ifp is no longer used) - implement IoAttachDeviceToDeviceStack(), IoDetachDevice(), IoGetAttachedDevice(), IoAllocateDriverObjectExtension(), IoGetDriverObjectExtension(), IoCreateDevice(), IoDeleteDevice(), IoAllocateIrp(), IoReuseIrp(), IoMakeAssociatedIrp(), IoFreeIrp(), IoInitializeIrp() - fix a few mistakes in the driver_object and device_object definitions - add a new module, kern_windrv.c, to handle the driver registration and relocation/dynalinkign duties (which don't really belong in kern_ndis.c). - made ndis_block and ndis_chars in the ndis_softc stucture pointers and modified all references to it - fixed NdisMRegisterMiniport() and NdisInitializeWrapper() so they work correctly with the new driver_object mechanism - changed ndis_attach() to call NdisAddDevice() instead of ndis_load_driver() (which is now deprecated) - used ExAllocatePoolWithTag()/ExFreePool() in lookaside list routines instead of kludged up alloc/free routines - added kern_windrv.c to sys/modules/ndis/Makefile and files.i386.

/* Finish up BSD-specific setup. */
Commit the first cut of Project Evil, also known as the NDISulator. Yes, it's what you think it is. Yes, you should run away now. This is a special compatibility module for allowing Windows NDIS miniport network drivers to be used with FreeBSD/x86. This provides _binary_ NDIS compatibility (not source): you can run NDIS driver code, but you can't build it. There are three main parts: sys/compat/ndis: the NDIS compat API, which provides binary compatibility functions for many routines in NDIS.SYS, HAL.dll and ntoskrnl.exe in Windows (these are the three modules that most NDIS miniport drivers use). The compat module also contains a small PE relocator/dynalinker which relocates the Windows .SYS image and then patches in our native routines. sys/dev/if_ndis: the if_ndis driver wrapper. This module makes use of the ndis compat API and can be compiled with a specially prepared binary image file (ndis_driver_data.h) containing the Windows .SYS image and registry key information parsed out of the accompanying .INF file. Once if_ndis.ko is built, it can be loaded and unloaded just like a native FreeBSD kenrel module. usr.sbin/ndiscvt: a special utility that converts foo.sys and foo.inf into an ndis_driver_data.h file that can be compiled into if_ndis.o. Contains an .inf file parser graciously provided by Matt Dodd (and mercilessly hacked upon by me) that strips out device ID info and registry key info from a .INF file and packages it up with a binary image array. The ndiscvt(8) utility also does some manipulation of the segments within the .sys file to make life easier for the kernel loader. (Doing the manipulation here saves the kernel code from having to move things around later, which would waste memory.) ndiscvt is only built for the i386 arch. Only files.i386 has been updated, and none of this is turned on in GENERIC. It should probably work on pc98. I have no idea about amd64 or ia64 at this point. This is still a work in progress. I estimate it's about %85 done, but I want it under CVS control so I can track subsequent changes. It has been tested with exactly three drivers: the LinkSys LNE100TX v4 driver (Lne100v4.sys), the sample Intel 82559 driver from the Windows DDK (e100bex.sys) and the Broadcom BCM43xx wireless driver (bcmwl5.sys). It still needs to have a net80211 stuff added to it. To use it, you would do something like this: # cd /sys/modules/ndis # make; make load # cd /sys/modules/if_ndis # ndiscvt -i /path/to/foo.inf -s /path/to/foo.sys -o ndis_driver_data.h # make; make load # sysctl -a | grep ndis All registry keys are mapped to sysctl nodes. Sometimes drivers refer to registry keys that aren't mentioned in foo.inf. If this happens, the NDIS API module creates sysctl nodes for these keys on the fly so you can tweak them. An example usage of the Broadcom wireless driver would be: # sysctl hw.ndis0.EnableAutoConnect=1 # sysctl hw.ndis0.SSID="MY_SSID" # sysctl hw.ndis0.NetworkType=0 (0 for bss, 1 for adhoc) # ifconfig ndis0 <my ipaddr> netmask 0xffffff00 up Things to be done: - get rid of debug messages - add in ndis80211 support - defer transmissions until after a status update with NDIS_STATUS_CONNECTED occurs - Create smarter lookaside list support - Split off if_ndis_pci.c and if_ndis_pccard.c attachments - Make sure PCMCIA support works - Fix ndiscvt to properly parse PCMCIA device IDs from INF files - write ndisapi.9 man page

Add support for Windows/x86-64 binaries to Project Evil. Ville-Pertti Keinonen (will at exomi dot comohmygodnospampleasekthx) deserves a big thanks for submitting initial patches to make it work. I have mangled his contributions appropriately. The main gotcha with Windows/x86-64 is that Microsoft uses a different calling convention than everyone else. The standard ABI requires using 6 registers for argument passing, with other arguments on the stack. Microsoft uses only 4 registers, and requires the caller to leave room on the stack for the register arguments incase the callee needs to spill them. Unlike x86, where Microsoft uses a mix of _cdecl, _stdcall and _fastcall, all routines on Windows/x86-64 uses the same convention. This unfortunately means that all the functions we export to the driver require an intermediate translation wrapper. Similarly, we have to wrap all calls back into the driver binary itself. The original patches provided macros to wrap every single routine at compile time, providing a secondary jump table with a customized wrapper for each exported routine. I decided to use a different approach: the call wrapper for each function is created from a template at runtime, and the routine to jump to is patched into the wrapper as it is created. The subr_pe module has been modified to patch in the wrapped function instead of the original. (On x86, the wrapping routine is a no-op.) There are some minor API differences that had to be accounted for: - KeAcquireSpinLock() is a real function on amd64, not a macro wrapper around KfAcquireSpinLock() - NdisFreeBuffer() is actually IoFreeMdl(). I had to change the whole NDIS_BUFFER API a bit to accomodate this. Bugs fixed along the way: - IoAllocateMdl() always returned NULL - kern_windrv.c:windrv_unload() wasn't releasing private driver object extensions correctly (found thanks to memguard) This has only been tested with the driver for the Broadcom 802.11g chipset, which was the only Windows/x86-64 driver I could find.

When you call MiniportInitialize() for an 802.11 driver, it will at some point result in a status event being triggered (it should be a link down event: the Microsoft driver design guide says you should generate one when the NIC is initialized). Some drivers generate the event during MiniportInitialize(), such that by the time MiniportInitialize() completes, the NIC is ready to go. But some drivers, in particular the ones for Atheros wireless NICs, don't generate the event until after a device interrupt occurs at some point after MiniportInitialize() has completed. The gotcha is that you have to wait until the link status event occurs one way or the other before you try to fiddle with any settings (ssid, channel, etc...). For the drivers that set the event sycnhronously this isn't a problem, but for the others we have to pause after calling ndis_init_nic() and wait for the event to arrive before continuing. Failing to wait can cause big trouble: on my SMP system, calling ndis_setstate_80211() after ndis_init_nic() completes, but _before_ the link event arrives, will lock up or reset the system. What we do now is check to see if a link event arrived while ndis_init_nic() was running, and if it didn't we msleep() until it does. Along the way, I discovered a few other problems: - Defered procedure calls run at PASSIVE_LEVEL, not DISPATCH_LEVEL. ntoskrnl_run_dpc() has been fixed accordingly. (I read the documentation wrong.) - Similarly, the NDIS interrupt handler, which is essentially a DPC, also doesn't need to run at DISPATCH_LEVEL. ndis_intrtask() has been fixed accordingly. - MiniportQueryInformation() and MiniportSetInformation() run at DISPATCH_LEVEL, and each request must complete before another can be submitted. ndis_get_info() and ndis_set_info() have been fixed accordingly. - Turned the sleep lock that guards the NDIS thread job list into a spin lock. We never do anything with this lock held except manage the job list (no other locks are held), so it's safe to do this, and it's possible that ndis_sched() and ndis_unsched() can be called from DISPATCH_LEVEL, so using a sleep lock here is semantically incorrect. Also updated subr_witness.c to add the lock to the order list.

Commit the first cut of Project Evil, also known as the NDISulator. Yes, it's what you think it is. Yes, you should run away now. This is a special compatibility module for allowing Windows NDIS miniport network drivers to be used with FreeBSD/x86. This provides _binary_ NDIS compatibility (not source): you can run NDIS driver code, but you can't build it. There are three main parts: sys/compat/ndis: the NDIS compat API, which provides binary compatibility functions for many routines in NDIS.SYS, HAL.dll and ntoskrnl.exe in Windows (these are the three modules that most NDIS miniport drivers use). The compat module also contains a small PE relocator/dynalinker which relocates the Windows .SYS image and then patches in our native routines. sys/dev/if_ndis: the if_ndis driver wrapper. This module makes use of the ndis compat API and can be compiled with a specially prepared binary image file (ndis_driver_data.h) containing the Windows .SYS image and registry key information parsed out of the accompanying .INF file. Once if_ndis.ko is built, it can be loaded and unloaded just like a native FreeBSD kenrel module. usr.sbin/ndiscvt: a special utility that converts foo.sys and foo.inf into an ndis_driver_data.h file that can be compiled into if_ndis.o. Contains an .inf file parser graciously provided by Matt Dodd (and mercilessly hacked upon by me) that strips out device ID info and registry key info from a .INF file and packages it up with a binary image array. The ndiscvt(8) utility also does some manipulation of the segments within the .sys file to make life easier for the kernel loader. (Doing the manipulation here saves the kernel code from having to move things around later, which would waste memory.) ndiscvt is only built for the i386 arch. Only files.i386 has been updated, and none of this is turned on in GENERIC. It should probably work on pc98. I have no idea about amd64 or ia64 at this point. This is still a work in progress. I estimate it's about %85 done, but I want it under CVS control so I can track subsequent changes. It has been tested with exactly three drivers: the LinkSys LNE100TX v4 driver (Lne100v4.sys), the sample Intel 82559 driver from the Windows DDK (e100bex.sys) and the Broadcom BCM43xx wireless driver (bcmwl5.sys). It still needs to have a net80211 stuff added to it. To use it, you would do something like this: # cd /sys/modules/ndis # make; make load # cd /sys/modules/if_ndis # ndiscvt -i /path/to/foo.inf -s /path/to/foo.sys -o ndis_driver_data.h # make; make load # sysctl -a | grep ndis All registry keys are mapped to sysctl nodes. Sometimes drivers refer to registry keys that aren't mentioned in foo.inf. If this happens, the NDIS API module creates sysctl nodes for these keys on the fly so you can tweak them. An example usage of the Broadcom wireless driver would be: # sysctl hw.ndis0.EnableAutoConnect=1 # sysctl hw.ndis0.SSID="MY_SSID" # sysctl hw.ndis0.NetworkType=0 (0 for bss, 1 for adhoc) # ifconfig ndis0 <my ipaddr> netmask 0xffffff00 up Things to be done: - get rid of debug messages - add in ndis80211 support - defer transmissions until after a status update with NDIS_STATUS_CONNECTED occurs - Create smarter lookaside list support - Split off if_ndis_pci.c and if_ndis_pccard.c attachments - Make sure PCMCIA support works - Fix ndiscvt to properly parse PCMCIA device IDs from INF files - write ndisapi.9 man page

Next step on the road to IRPs: create and use an imitation of the Windows DRIVER_OBJECT and DEVICE_OBJECT mechanism so that we can simulate driver stacking. In Windows, each loaded driver image is attached to a DRIVER_OBJECT structure. Windows uses the registry to match up a given vendor/device ID combination with a corresponding DRIVER_OBJECT. When a driver image is first loaded, its DriverEntry() routine is invoked, which sets up the AddDevice() function pointer in the DRIVER_OBJECT and creates a dispatch table (based on IRP major codes). When a Windows bus driver detects a new device, it creates a Physical Device Object (PDO) for it. This is a DEVICE_OBJECT structure, with semantics analagous to that of a device_t in FreeBSD. The Windows PNP manager will invoke the driver's AddDevice() function and pass it pointers to the DRIVER_OBJECT and the PDO. The AddDevice() function then creates a new DRIVER_OBJECT structure of its own. This is known as the Functional Device Object (FDO) and corresponds roughly to a private softc instance. The driver uses IoAttachDeviceToDeviceStack() to add this device object to the driver stack for this PDO. Subsequent drivers (called filter drivers in Windows-speak) can be loaded which add themselves to the stack. When someone issues an IRP to a device, it travel along the stack passing through several possible filter drivers until it reaches the functional driver (which actually knows how to talk to the hardware) at which point it will be completed. This is how Windows achieves driver layering. Project Evil now simulates most of this. if_ndis now has a modevent handler which will use MOD_LOAD and MOD_UNLOAD events to drive the creation and destruction of DRIVER_OBJECTs. (The load event also does the relocation/dynalinking of the image.) We don't have a registry, so the DRIVER_OBJECTS are stored in a linked list for now. Eventually, the list entry will contain the vendor/device ID list extracted from the .INF file. When ndis_probe() is called and detectes a supported device, it will create a PDO for the device instance and attach it to the DRIVER_OBJECT just as in Windows. ndis_attach() will then call our NdisAddDevice() handler to create the FDO. The NDIS miniport block is now a device extension hung off the FDO, just as it is in Windows. The miniport characteristics table is now an extension hung off the DRIVER_OBJECT as well (the characteristics are the same for all devices handled by a given driver, so they don't need to be per-instance.) We also do an IoAttachDeviceToDeviceStack() to put the FDO on the stack for the PDO. There are a couple of fake bus drivers created for the PCI and pccard buses. Eventually, there will be one for USB, which will actually accept USB IRP.s Things should still work just as before, only now we do things in the proper order and maintain the correct framework to support passing IRPs between drivers. Various changes: - corrected the comments about IRQL handling in subr_hal.c to more accurately reflect reality - update ndiscvt to make the drv_data symbol in ndis_driver_data.h a global so that if_ndis_pci.o and/or if_ndis_pccard.o can see it. - Obtain the softc pointer from the miniport block by referencing the PDO rather than a private pointer of our own (nmb_ifp is no longer used) - implement IoAttachDeviceToDeviceStack(), IoDetachDevice(), IoGetAttachedDevice(), IoAllocateDriverObjectExtension(), IoGetDriverObjectExtension(), IoCreateDevice(), IoDeleteDevice(), IoAllocateIrp(), IoReuseIrp(), IoMakeAssociatedIrp(), IoFreeIrp(), IoInitializeIrp() - fix a few mistakes in the driver_object and device_object definitions - add a new module, kern_windrv.c, to handle the driver registration and relocation/dynalinkign duties (which don't really belong in kern_ndis.c). - made ndis_block and ndis_chars in the ndis_softc stucture pointers and modified all references to it - fixed NdisMRegisterMiniport() and NdisInitializeWrapper() so they work correctly with the new driver_object mechanism - changed ndis_attach() to call NdisAddDevice() instead of ndis_load_driver() (which is now deprecated) - used ExAllocatePoolWithTag()/ExFreePool() in lookaside list routines instead of kludged up alloc/free routines - added kern_windrv.c to sys/modules/ndis/Makefile and files.i386.

Another round of cleanups and fixes: - Change ndis_return() from a DPC to a workitem so that it doesn't run at DISPATCH_LEVEL (with the dispatcher lock held). - In if_ndis.c, submit packets to the stack via (*ifp->if_input)() in a workitem instead of doing it directly in ndis_rxeof(), because ndis_rxeof() runs in a DPC, and hence at DISPATCH_LEVEL. This implies that the 'dispatch level' mutex for the current CPU is being held, and we don't want to call if_input while holding any locks. - Reimplement IoConnectInterrupt()/IoDisconnectInterrupt(). The original approach I used to track down the interrupt resource (by scanning the device tree starting at the nexus) is prone to problems when two devices share an interrupt. (E.g removing ndis1 might disable interrupts for ndis0.) The new approach is to multiplex all the NDIS interrupts through a common internal dispatcher (ntoskrnl_intr()) and allow IoConnectInterrupt()/IoDisconnectInterrupt() to add or remove interrupts from the dispatch list. - Implement KeAcquireInterruptSpinLock() and KeReleaseInterruptSpinLock(). - Change the DPC and workitem threads to use the KeXXXSpinLock API instead of mtx_lock_spin()/mtx_unlock_spin(). - Simplify the NdisXXXPacket routines by creating an actual packet pool structure and using the InterlockedSList routines to manage the packet queue. - Only honor the value returned by OID_GEN_MAXIMUM_SEND_PACKETS for serialized drivers. For deserialized drivers, we now create a packet array of 64 entries. (The Microsoft DDK documentation says that for deserialized miniports, OID_GEN_MAXIMUM_SEND_PACKETS is ignored, and the driver for the Marvell 8335 chip, which is a deserialized miniport, returns 1 when queried.) - Clean up timer handling in subr_ntoskrnl. - Add the following conditional debugging code: NTOSKRNL_DEBUG_TIMERS - add debugging and stats for timers NDIS_DEBUG_PACKETS - add extra sanity checking for NdisXXXPacket API NTOSKRNL_DEBUG_SPINLOCKS - add test for spinning too long - In kern_ndis.c, always start the HAL first and shut it down last, since Windows spinlocks depend on it. Ntoskrnl should similarly be started second and shut down next to last.

Next step on the road to IRPs: create and use an imitation of the Windows DRIVER_OBJECT and DEVICE_OBJECT mechanism so that we can simulate driver stacking. In Windows, each loaded driver image is attached to a DRIVER_OBJECT structure. Windows uses the registry to match up a given vendor/device ID combination with a corresponding DRIVER_OBJECT. When a driver image is first loaded, its DriverEntry() routine is invoked, which sets up the AddDevice() function pointer in the DRIVER_OBJECT and creates a dispatch table (based on IRP major codes). When a Windows bus driver detects a new device, it creates a Physical Device Object (PDO) for it. This is a DEVICE_OBJECT structure, with semantics analagous to that of a device_t in FreeBSD. The Windows PNP manager will invoke the driver's AddDevice() function and pass it pointers to the DRIVER_OBJECT and the PDO. The AddDevice() function then creates a new DRIVER_OBJECT structure of its own. This is known as the Functional Device Object (FDO) and corresponds roughly to a private softc instance. The driver uses IoAttachDeviceToDeviceStack() to add this device object to the driver stack for this PDO. Subsequent drivers (called filter drivers in Windows-speak) can be loaded which add themselves to the stack. When someone issues an IRP to a device, it travel along the stack passing through several possible filter drivers until it reaches the functional driver (which actually knows how to talk to the hardware) at which point it will be completed. This is how Windows achieves driver layering. Project Evil now simulates most of this. if_ndis now has a modevent handler which will use MOD_LOAD and MOD_UNLOAD events to drive the creation and destruction of DRIVER_OBJECTs. (The load event also does the relocation/dynalinking of the image.) We don't have a registry, so the DRIVER_OBJECTS are stored in a linked list for now. Eventually, the list entry will contain the vendor/device ID list extracted from the .INF file. When ndis_probe() is called and detectes a supported device, it will create a PDO for the device instance and attach it to the DRIVER_OBJECT just as in Windows. ndis_attach() will then call our NdisAddDevice() handler to create the FDO. The NDIS miniport block is now a device extension hung off the FDO, just as it is in Windows. The miniport characteristics table is now an extension hung off the DRIVER_OBJECT as well (the characteristics are the same for all devices handled by a given driver, so they don't need to be per-instance.) We also do an IoAttachDeviceToDeviceStack() to put the FDO on the stack for the PDO. There are a couple of fake bus drivers created for the PCI and pccard buses. Eventually, there will be one for USB, which will actually accept USB IRP.s Things should still work just as before, only now we do things in the proper order and maintain the correct framework to support passing IRPs between drivers. Various changes: - corrected the comments about IRQL handling in subr_hal.c to more accurately reflect reality - update ndiscvt to make the drv_data symbol in ndis_driver_data.h a global so that if_ndis_pci.o and/or if_ndis_pccard.o can see it. - Obtain the softc pointer from the miniport block by referencing the PDO rather than a private pointer of our own (nmb_ifp is no longer used) - implement IoAttachDeviceToDeviceStack(), IoDetachDevice(), IoGetAttachedDevice(), IoAllocateDriverObjectExtension(), IoGetDriverObjectExtension(), IoCreateDevice(), IoDeleteDevice(), IoAllocateIrp(), IoReuseIrp(), IoMakeAssociatedIrp(), IoFreeIrp(), IoInitializeIrp() - fix a few mistakes in the driver_object and device_object definitions - add a new module, kern_windrv.c, to handle the driver registration and relocation/dynalinkign duties (which don't really belong in kern_ndis.c). - made ndis_block and ndis_chars in the ndis_softc stucture pointers and modified all references to it - fixed NdisMRegisterMiniport() and NdisInitializeWrapper() so they work correctly with the new driver_object mechanism - changed ndis_attach() to call NdisAddDevice() instead of ndis_load_driver() (which is now deprecated) - used ExAllocatePoolWithTag()/ExFreePool() in lookaside list routines instead of kludged up alloc/free routines - added kern_windrv.c to sys/modules/ndis/Makefile and files.i386.

Another round of cleanups and fixes: - Change ndis_return() from a DPC to a workitem so that it doesn't run at DISPATCH_LEVEL (with the dispatcher lock held). - In if_ndis.c, submit packets to the stack via (*ifp->if_input)() in a workitem instead of doing it directly in ndis_rxeof(), because ndis_rxeof() runs in a DPC, and hence at DISPATCH_LEVEL. This implies that the 'dispatch level' mutex for the current CPU is being held, and we don't want to call if_input while holding any locks. - Reimplement IoConnectInterrupt()/IoDisconnectInterrupt(). The original approach I used to track down the interrupt resource (by scanning the device tree starting at the nexus) is prone to problems when two devices share an interrupt. (E.g removing ndis1 might disable interrupts for ndis0.) The new approach is to multiplex all the NDIS interrupts through a common internal dispatcher (ntoskrnl_intr()) and allow IoConnectInterrupt()/IoDisconnectInterrupt() to add or remove interrupts from the dispatch list. - Implement KeAcquireInterruptSpinLock() and KeReleaseInterruptSpinLock(). - Change the DPC and workitem threads to use the KeXXXSpinLock API instead of mtx_lock_spin()/mtx_unlock_spin(). - Simplify the NdisXXXPacket routines by creating an actual packet pool structure and using the InterlockedSList routines to manage the packet queue. - Only honor the value returned by OID_GEN_MAXIMUM_SEND_PACKETS for serialized drivers. For deserialized drivers, we now create a packet array of 64 entries. (The Microsoft DDK documentation says that for deserialized miniports, OID_GEN_MAXIMUM_SEND_PACKETS is ignored, and the driver for the Marvell 8335 chip, which is a deserialized miniport, returns 1 when queried.) - Clean up timer handling in subr_ntoskrnl. - Add the following conditional debugging code: NTOSKRNL_DEBUG_TIMERS - add debugging and stats for timers NDIS_DEBUG_PACKETS - add extra sanity checking for NdisXXXPacket API NTOSKRNL_DEBUG_SPINLOCKS - add test for spinning too long - In kern_ndis.c, always start the HAL first and shut it down last, since Windows spinlocks depend on it. Ntoskrnl should similarly be started second and shut down next to last.

Commit the first cut of Project Evil, also known as the NDISulator. Yes, it's what you think it is. Yes, you should run away now. This is a special compatibility module for allowing Windows NDIS miniport network drivers to be used with FreeBSD/x86. This provides _binary_ NDIS compatibility (not source): you can run NDIS driver code, but you can't build it. There are three main parts: sys/compat/ndis: the NDIS compat API, which provides binary compatibility functions for many routines in NDIS.SYS, HAL.dll and ntoskrnl.exe in Windows (these are the three modules that most NDIS miniport drivers use). The compat module also contains a small PE relocator/dynalinker which relocates the Windows .SYS image and then patches in our native routines. sys/dev/if_ndis: the if_ndis driver wrapper. This module makes use of the ndis compat API and can be compiled with a specially prepared binary image file (ndis_driver_data.h) containing the Windows .SYS image and registry key information parsed out of the accompanying .INF file. Once if_ndis.ko is built, it can be loaded and unloaded just like a native FreeBSD kenrel module. usr.sbin/ndiscvt: a special utility that converts foo.sys and foo.inf into an ndis_driver_data.h file that can be compiled into if_ndis.o. Contains an .inf file parser graciously provided by Matt Dodd (and mercilessly hacked upon by me) that strips out device ID info and registry key info from a .INF file and packages it up with a binary image array. The ndiscvt(8) utility also does some manipulation of the segments within the .sys file to make life easier for the kernel loader. (Doing the manipulation here saves the kernel code from having to move things around later, which would waste memory.) ndiscvt is only built for the i386 arch. Only files.i386 has been updated, and none of this is turned on in GENERIC. It should probably work on pc98. I have no idea about amd64 or ia64 at this point. This is still a work in progress. I estimate it's about %85 done, but I want it under CVS control so I can track subsequent changes. It has been tested with exactly three drivers: the LinkSys LNE100TX v4 driver (Lne100v4.sys), the sample Intel 82559 driver from the Windows DDK (e100bex.sys) and the Broadcom BCM43xx wireless driver (bcmwl5.sys). It still needs to have a net80211 stuff added to it. To use it, you would do something like this: # cd /sys/modules/ndis # make; make load # cd /sys/modules/if_ndis # ndiscvt -i /path/to/foo.inf -s /path/to/foo.sys -o ndis_driver_data.h # make; make load # sysctl -a | grep ndis All registry keys are mapped to sysctl nodes. Sometimes drivers refer to registry keys that aren't mentioned in foo.inf. If this happens, the NDIS API module creates sysctl nodes for these keys on the fly so you can tweak them. An example usage of the Broadcom wireless driver would be: # sysctl hw.ndis0.EnableAutoConnect=1 # sysctl hw.ndis0.SSID="MY_SSID" # sysctl hw.ndis0.NetworkType=0 (0 for bss, 1 for adhoc) # ifconfig ndis0 <my ipaddr> netmask 0xffffff00 up Things to be done: - get rid of debug messages - add in ndis80211 support - defer transmissions until after a status update with NDIS_STATUS_CONNECTED occurs - Create smarter lookaside list support - Split off if_ndis_pci.c and if_ndis_pccard.c attachments - Make sure PCMCIA support works - Fix ndiscvt to properly parse PCMCIA device IDs from INF files - write ndisapi.9 man page
